[1] Kurtley Beale. Photo Reuters Australia fullback Kurtley Beale is "touch and go" on whether he will be available for their rugby World Cup semifinal against New Zealand at Eden Park on Sunday, team officials said on Tuesday.
Beale limped off the field with a hamstring injury during the Wallabies' 11-9 victory over South Africa in Wellington on Sunday and had undergone a scan, a team spokesman said.
Had the 22-year-old been any worse he would have already been sent home, the spokesman said.
Prop Sekope Kepu had also had a scan on his injured ankle and that was "more promising". Coach Robbie Deans will name his team for the semi-final on Friday.
