Melbourne Rebels star Kurtley Beale has been stood down by the Super Rugby franchise following a breach of behavioural guidelines.
Beale had only recently returned from an ARU-imposed four-game ban following an alcohol-related incident between Beale and teammates Gareth Delve and Cooper Vuna while in South Africa.
The Brisbane Times are reporting that Beale has again broken the conditions of his return by drinking alcohol following the Rebels’ 39-33 loss to the Chiefs last Friday night and missing a planned counselling session.
It continues a difficult season for Beale, who has seen limited playing time due to suspension as well as missing games through a broken hand.
His absence has contributed toward the Rebels’ poor season, which has seen them win only twice in ten matches.
The 24-year-old has been involved in a string of off-field incidents over recent years and questions are certain to be raised regarding Beale’s future in rugby.
