Doesn't look like it. At least that's the word on Twitter right now, that Cheika advised Beale that he won't be required except as injury cover.
Still looking for an official report.
thanks

From Wilson's latest article
How about we woo David Gallop over to rugby. There's one thing for sure ,he is a professional. There haven't been any bad news stories in soccer since he went across, and he's had plenty of practise dealing with brain explosions from the league players.
I notice no direct quote attributed to Pulver. This tittle tattle is of the same quality as the rest of the unsubstantiated rumours.

Only because we all know the ARU can get it wrong. Many people believe there are fractions within the ARU as well pro NSW and otherwise.Have the people that consider the punishment too lenient considered that maybe your expectations of the consequences for sexual harassment don't match what actually happens in reality? I would hazard a guess that many of the same people frequently consider criminal sentencing too lenient.
An independent judiciary of three people with extensive experience in running legal hearings was put together to hear the evidence and come up with a punishment. Upon considering the evidence a judgement would have been made as to the severity of the infraction and then a punishment given for that.
Many people are then making the call that the ARU, the coach, and the team should not accept the findings and punishment handed down and instead make their own judgement on the matter despite not being part of the hearing.
No one has been privy to all the evidence and has instead based their view on what they've read and also their preconceptions of the people involved (Beale, McKenzie, Patston, Pulver as well as the journalists reporting the matter) and come to a conclusion as to what they think happened and what they choose to believe. Any position you can take on this matter involves believing some unsubstantiated claims instead of other contradictory unsubstantiated claims or denials. It's not really a coincidence that those who think McKenzie resigned with his head held high and was faultless in the matter are most upset at the leniency of the sentence.
To those saying that McKay and Scrivener lost their jobs due to Beale, that is drawing a long bow. They lost their jobs because the coach changed and invariably some or all of the assistant coaches lose their job when the coach changes. It is a harsh reality of professional sport.
It would show good perception from Cheika to realise that selecting Beale immediately will rub salt in the wounds for the fans feeling most aggrieved. If he does join the tour, don't play him until the very end. Absence from the team would also give Beale a better chance at being forgiven by those fans.
That's a fair assessment qwerty51.I think it's a bit much to call JOC (James O'Connor) got booted. We don't know. He was released from his contract, not terminated. Maybe he wanted out too. He went to Toulon after Irish when he could've come back.
It's making the claim that the journalist put the question to Pulver and he confirmed it.
If that didn't happen then Pulver should speak out about it.
It's unproven, but it's not unsubstantiated. Wilson is saying very clearly that Pulver substantiated it.
I know I'm diverting a bit here but just on terry's post.
I agree totally. A lot of people will dismiss it but plenty of research backs that up (too many journals to post here). Being more of a libertarian type of person I'm more against the ease of access & blatant broadcasting rather than banning the content outright. It's all fixed by providing good role models within the family/friends circle - worked for me.
