Australia head coach Michael Cheika has suggested he will try and convince Kurtley Beale to cut short his stint at Wasps next summer.

The 27 year old is the highest paid player in English rugby with the two-year deal he signed back in May thought to be worth £1.5m.

Beale is yet to make his debut for Wasps after suffering a ruptured patella in his final game for the Warratahs, although head coach Dai Young is reported to be hopeful he will return by early December.
