Australia's rugby coach Les Kiss has included veteran playmaker Kurtley Beale in the squad for the upcoming spring tour of the UK, following the withdrawal of Hunter Paisami. Beale, who last played for the Wallabies in 2021, is being considered for a spot in the Rugby World Cup squad as competition for the flyhalf position intensifies.

Kiss emphasized that Beale's inclusion is not merely for experience but to enhance team depth and performance. Additionally, back-rower Tom Hooper has recovered from injury and will join the camp, as the Wallabies prepare for crucial Tests against England, Scotland, and Wales ahead of the Nations Championship finals in November.

Watch how Beale's experience influences the Wallabies' strategy against top-tier teams like England and Scotland. His performance could solidify his place in the World Cup squad, while the development of younger flyhalves will be crucial in shaping Australia's future.
