Wallabies star Kurtley Beale selling final Sydney property
The 95-cap Wallaby legend and Western Force player Kurtley Beale is cutting his ties with Sydney property. Having sold his Randwick home last year, Beale and wife Maddi are now selling their Paddington apartment. While the apartment at 11/228 Moore Park Road, Paddington has been an investment property over recent years, Beale did live in the one-bedroom bolthole when he was training at Allianz Stadium. The Paddington Barracks building on Moore Park Rd sits opposite the homebase of the Waratahs. McGrath Paddington agent Georgia Cleary has given a $780,000 guide for its June 6 auction. The ground-floor apartment with a deep courtyard cost $380,000 in 2007, the same year Beale played his first game for the Waratahs as an 18-year-old. Data shows the 68sq m unit was offered for rent in August 2020, in the pandemic, at $480 a week, which was well down on its $630 a week offering in 2019. The last one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment without parking in the building was sold for $825,000 last July. This one first sold for $388,800 after Walker Corp designed the $28m, 75-unit apartment complex in 1999, with it completed in 2001 by Australand. The late developer Lang Walker had secured the 3400sq m site from the Metropolitan Water Sewerage & Drainage Board for $6.25m. Beale and Maddi, who have two children, have recently bought in Cottesloe, the popular beachside Perth suburb. They spent $2.2m on a new three-bedroom apartment in the Elizabeth Residences, named after the 1839 shipwreck 200m from the Cottesloe shore. The two-level apartment is within a boutique complex of eight, set five doors from the beach, which was pitched as being perfect for a professional couple, downsizers or retirees, as well as a small family. All up there is 238sq m of internal and external living space, and a further 30sq m of stacker parking for two cars, and small storage. Beale secured $4.725m for his former Federation Randwick home, which he bought for $2.651m in 2015. It had been a longtime rental since his time playing for the Waratahs, with stints in the UK and France taking him away.

Kurtley Beale scores on comeback, but Force flattened by blistering Blues
Kurtley Beale shone in his Super Rugby return, scoring a try and amassing 122 meters despite Western Force's 40-19 loss to the Blues. After a 10-month injury layoff, the veteran fullback defied doubts about his fitness. While the Blues dominated with six tries, Beale's performance offered a glimmer of hope for the Force and hinted at a possible Wallabies recall. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in International Veteran Wallaby Kurtley Beale marked his long-awaited return to Super Rugby with a stellar performance, despite the Western Force falling 40–19 to the Blues at Eden Park on his first competitive match in 10 months following a serious Achilles injury, the 34-year-old fullback made an immediate impact. Beale ran for 122 metres, beat three defenders, and scored a well-taken try — a reminder of the class that made him a mainstay in Australian rugby for over a return was among the few bright spots for the Force, who were outgunned by a dominant Blues outfit. The defending champions ran in six tries, with Marcel Renata grabbing a brace and Beauden Barrett and Cole Forbes orchestrating a fluid attacking display. The Blues, stung by a recent loss and a strong rebuke from coach Vern Cotter, responded with intent from the opening Force struggled at the breakdown and conceded crucial turnovers. The Blues capitalized on it and maintained momentum throughout the match. While Beale's second-half try briefly sparked high hope for the visitors, they failed to gain the defeat, Beale's performance turned heads. In the lead-up to the match, some pundits questioned whether the veteran still had the pace and endurance to compete at this level. He answered emphatically on the field.'It felt good to cross the line again,' Beale said post-match. 'The body held up better than I expected.'Force coach Simon Cron praised Beale's presence on and off the field, highlighting his influence on the team's younger players. 'Kurtley's experience, tactical knowledge, and leadership have been a major lift for the squad,' Cron the Force looks to salvage their season, Beale's return could provide the spark they need. More than just a comeback, his performance in Auckland hinted at the possibility of a late-career resurgence — and perhaps even a final chapter in the gold jersey.

Comeback king Beale scores but Blues beat Force
Western Force fullback Kurtley Beale has marked his long-awaited return with a try, but it wasn't enough in a 40-19 loss to the Blues in Auckland. Beale, playing his first match since rupturing his achilles tendon 10 months ago, scored in the 47th minute to reduce the margin to five points in Friday night's Super Rugby Pacific match at Eden Park. But the Blues' powerful scrum - combined with a series of creative kicks from star flyhalf Beauden Barrett - were enough to lift the home side to a six-tries-to-three bonus-point victory. The result means both the seventh-placed Force and sixth-placed Blues are on 22 points. The Force could drop a few more places by the end of the round, and they will probably need to win at least two of their last three games to have a chance of reaching the finals for the first time. "It's good to be back, but disappointed in the end," Beale told Sky Sport. "The boys are gutted, so back to the drawing board for a big week next week against the Brumbies. "(I felt) a little bit of butterflies, but it's rugby. You love the game for what it is. "The game's changing, it's getting fitter, faster, stronger. But I enjoy the challenge. "I love the unpredictability about the game." Kurtley Beale finishes off a sweeping Force move 👏#SuperRugbyPacific | #BLUvFOR — Super Rugby Pacific (@SuperRugby) May 2, 2025 The Force entered the match having lost 22 of their past 23 matches in New Zealand, and having never won at Eden Park. Their last win over the Blues at any venue was way back in 2008. Beale's first meaningful touch was a good one, with his slicing run and slick pass setting up Harry Potter for a line break. The Force put a heap of pressure on the Blues early, but a series of handling errors let their opponents off the hook time and again. The Blues made the most of the reprieves, with prop Marcel Renata barging over after a successful scrum in the 16th minute, before winger Cole Forbes went over untouched under the posts four minutes later. That double blow gave the Blues a 12-0 lead, but the Force didn't give up. Potter was giving the hosts all sorts of headaches with his powerful runs, and he would have scored a try in the 25th minute if not for a last-gasp tackle from Corey Evans. Force tryscoring machine Carlo Tizzano thought he had scored his 12th of the season in the 27th minute, only for it to be ruled out due to an earlier knock-on from hooker Nic Dolly. But Tizzano was celebrating 10 minutes later when he went over from a rolling maul. The Blues struck just 72 seconds into the second half when Barrett swung it wide for AJ Lam to touch down, giving them a 19-7 lead. But in a team-lifting moment for the Force, Ben Donaldson's cross kick found Mac Grealy, who slipped a pass out the back of his hand for Beale to latch onto for a try. Beale was swarmed by his teammates after crossing over, but the Blues scored three of the next four tries to run out easy winners. Bennett's chip kick for Corbes to score his second try was special. Beale came off in the 72nd minute, and he looms as a key cog for the Force as they attempt to work their way back into the top six during the final month of the season.
