Wallaby Beale in court on assault charge

Wallabies fullback Kurtley Beale was granted bail to attend mediation after appearing in court on Tuesday charged with common assault. The Melbourne Rebels star was allegedly involved in an altercation with a security guard after he and Wallabies team-mate Quade Cooper were refused entry to a pub ahead of Australia's first Test with Wales last month. During a brief mention of the matter in the Brisbane Magistrates Court, Beale's lawyer Angelo Venardos told the judge his client and the alleged victim were attempting to resolve the matter out of court. The matter was adjourned for eight weeks to allow this, Australian Associated Press reported.
