KURTLEY Beale’s 47-day exile from the Wallabies is over, with the controversial star to fly out to Europe on Saturday to join the team and reboot his international career.

The Daily Telegraph understands Beale will depart alongside backrower Jake Schatz as the Wallabies bolster their squad for the final two games of their tour, and he will be strongly considered for selection against Ireland on November 23.

Beale has not pulled on the gold jersey since the Wallabies’ loss in Cape Town against South Africa on September 27.

CHEIKA AND COOPER THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

After that match, he had an in-flight argument with then Wallabies business manager Di Patston, which quickly descended into the biggest scandal to engulf the ARU and saw the resignation of not only Patston but Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie.

Beale’s career was spared when he was fined $45,000 by an independent tribunal for sending an offensive text message to Patston, while a second more offensive text alleged to have been sent from his phone could not be proved.

Beale missed the Wallabies’ loss to Argentina and their final Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks on October 18, and was left out of the spring tour squad despite being let off by the tribunal.

New Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and defence coach Nathan Grey had indicated that Beale had been left behind due to fitness, rather than any disciplinary issue, and that he could join the camp at some point.

That will come this weekend when the 25-year-old rejoins his national teammates, and he’ll watch them play France in Paris on Sunday at 7am (AEST).

Beale will be in contention to play in Australia’s next game, against Ireland in Dublin, the following weekend.

Ironically, it was a drinking episode in Dublin during last year’s spring tour, after which 15 Wallabies players were reprimanded, that tensions first arose between the playing group and McKenzie.

Beale was not on last year’s tour, but was back in the fold by June during the French series when Patston’s role within team management had increased and the playing group became perplexed with her role and responsibilities.

It was during that camp that Beale inadvertently sent Patston a photo text message of an obese woman, when he meant to send it to Wallabies teammate James Hanson.

The pair met to sort out their differences and the issue was buried until their argument three months later, on a flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo as the team made their way to Argentina.

Patston flew home from Buenos Aires two days later, and Beale was dropped from the team.

The following week, the team flew back to Australia, while Patston resigned under mounting stress and scrutiny over her qualifications.

Following the last-minute loss to the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Test, McKenzie shocked the rugby world by announcing his resignation, which came just days after ARU chief executive Bill Pulver had declared that he would be on the plane to the UK for the tour.

The ARU scrambled to sign Cheika and appointed him two days before Beale’s hearing.

Some expected Beale to have his contract terminated at that hearing but a three-man panel said the fine, the games he’d already missed, and the damage to his reputation over this incident were punishment enough.

However, Cheika had picked a 33-man touring squad before Beale’s hearing and had not included him due to the impending judgment.

The team departed and Beale was left to do his own training in Sydney in a bid to reclaim the fitness required to slot back into the side.

Beale was a pivotal member of Cheika’s winning Waratahs Super Rugby side this year and the coach is a close friend and mentor to the enigmatic star.

Cheika clearly wants Beale back in the national squad as Australia chase an undefeated tour, having started with wins over the Barbarians and Wales.
