Wallabies star Kurtley Beale expected to be sidelined for up to a month with broken hand

MELBOURNE, Australia - Australia utility back Kurtley Beale has broken his left hand and is expected to miss up to a month of Super Rugby competition for the Melbourne Rebels.

The Rebels flyhalf had scans Monday and was expected to have surgery to repair the injury sustained in the loss to New South Wales last Friday.

Melbourne has one win and two losses so far this season and is due to face the Reds this weekend, seeking its first ever win over the Queensland team.

Beale should be back in time to prepare for Australia's three-test series against the British and Irish Lions starting in June.
