Update: Kurtley Beale will be spoken to again by Rugby Australia officials after a second controversial video leaked this week, but the Wallabies star will again escape punishment.

Beale was not filmed doing anything illegal in either video, one that featured a man snorting a line of cocaine, and the other in which a man is holding a plate of white powder.

The videos were taken in 2016 and 2015 respectively.

Beale had met with RA integrity unit officials earlier this week after footage of him laughing at a man snorting cocaine, taken by NRL star Corey Norman, hit the news.

The next day, a second video came to light from 2015 in which Beale is playing a vacuum cleaner as a didgeridoo before the camera pans to a man with the suspicious substance.

By the time the second video became public Beale had flown to New Zealand for what is believed to have been a sponsor’s event.

He spoke to RA officials over the phone from New Zealand, and returned to Australia on Thursday.

Beale apologised to Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle over the first video when it emerged on Tuesday evening, which was the first time the code’s powerbrokers had seen it.

Beale met with RA integrity unit officials on Wednesday morning, saying he had not taken any illicit substances.

He was not sanctioned, though Castle said footage of him laughing at the drug-taking did not meet expectations of a professional rugby player.

Beale is expected to meet his employer again this week, and while they can’t sanction him, they’ll warn the 30-year-old the videos are damaging a code that is already struggling for public support.
