Story summary

Kurtley Beale has been unexpectedly recalled to the Wallabies squad for the first time in five years at age 37, replacing Hunter Paisami on Australia’s spring tour of the UK in November ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Paisami withdrew due to personal reasons after recently moving to Japan with his family to play for the Shizuoka Blu Revs. Beale's return coincides with a contract extension with his club team, Western Force, despite initially being on a modest train-and-trial deal for 2027. The Wallabies will face Tests against England, Scotland, and Wales in November before the Nations Championship finals.
