Cronulla Sharks rugby league player Myles Taueli will face court next month after allegedly crashing his ute into a tree while drink driving in Sydney's south on Sunday night.

The 20-year-old is the second uncapped NRL prospect to be charged with drink driving in the past week, after Manly youngster Liam Knight allegedly blew 0.176 when caught driving at 137km/h in a 70 km/h zone last Wednesday.

Charged: Myles Taueli.

Taueli, who also plays for the NRL club's feeder team the Newtown Jets in reserve grade, was selected in the NSW Origin pathways camp last summer.
