Rebels star Kurtley Beale stood down after breaking booze ban Rod Kafer weighs in on the suspension of Melbourne Rebels and Wallabies star Kurtley Beale. Melbourne Rebels star Kurtley Beale has been stood down again after breaking a booze ban. WALLABIES fullback Kurtley Beale has been stood down from the Melbourne Rebels side for Saturday's Super Rugby against the Blues in Auckland after sleeping in and missing his appointment with the psychologist overseeing his Australian Rugby Union-mandated rehabilitation. Beale also breached the behavioural guidelines set down by the ARU, the Rebels and the Rugby Union Players Association by having a few beers during and after attending the Melbourne Storm match on Saturday night. Rebels officials today stressed Beale had not misbehaved in any way but he nonetheless broke the conditions imposed on him following an incident on the Rebels" recent South African tour where he punched team captain Gareth Delve and team-mate Cooper Vuna. Beale's indefinite suspension was lifted last weekend when he played off the bench in the Super Rugby clash against the Chiefs. The 24-year-old instantly made his presence felt, scoring a brilliant individual try and making several other telling contributions. On the strength of his performance it seemed inevitable he would be named on May 19 in the Wallabies squad to play the British and Irish Lions next month, but his chance of wearing the Australian jersey in the foreseeable future have surely been clouded by this latest misadventure. Rebels coach Damien Hill said it was disappointing for Beale and the team. "You can't shy away from the fact that he is one of the best footballers in the country," Hill said. It's just unfortunate that the behavioural side is interfering with that at the moment. It's really disappointing. Hill said Beale was very remorseful and felt he'd let his teammates and himself down. The coach said it was too early to tell if Beale would play for the Rebels again. It's probably too early to comment on that. Everybody wants a fit and healthy Kurtley on and off the field so he can perform. It's a work in progress and there's a lot more to be done.
