Beale dismisses talk of division within Wallabies playing ranks

Kurtley Beale has dismissed talk of division within the Wallabies playing ranks, insisting the entire squad of Rugby World Cup hopefuls were happy campers.

Beale revealed fallout from Israel Folau's sacking was formally addressed when coach Michael Cheika assembled a 41‑man train‑on squad in Brisbane at the start of the week.

There had been concerns that Folau's contract termination for his controversial social media posts could drive a wedge between the Wallabies, with the squad featuring a large number of fellow Pacific Islanders with strong Christian beliefs like Folau.

But Beale saw no such discontent.

Meanwhile in the Super Rugby Competition tomorrow the Reds will take on the Chiefs at 7.35pm while Brumbies will face the Bulls at 9.45pm.
