 Rod Macqueen, the former Rebels' coach, said that Beale at number 10 had brought something special to the Rebels and that together with James O'Connor at inside centre, he created the shape of team on the field.While on tour in South Africa during the 2013 Super Rugby season, Beale punched captain Gareth Delve on a team bus after a match.A post to social media by Cooper Vuna was subsequently re-published on at least one other blog, and Beale and Vuna were sent home early from the tour.
