Club: 'Alcohol the big issue' for troubled Beale

Former Australia hooker Adam Freier says rugby union must follow the example set by other codes and help the troubled Wallabies superstar Kurtley Beale tackles his issues with alcohol.

Beale was sent home in disgrace from South Africa by his club side, the Rebels, last Sunday after he allegedly punched skipper Gareth Delve and team-mate Cooper Vuna on the team bus following a heavy loss to the Sharks in Durban.
