SYDNEY (Reuters) - Kurtley Beale needs surgery to remove a bone spur from his foot but the Australia utility back plans to delay the operation and keep on playing until he gets some off from rugby or the pain becomes unbearable.

The 25-year-old limped off during last week's New South Wales Waratahs' 19-12 victory over South Africa's Bulls with what many suspected was an ankle injury that forced him to miss training on Tuesday.
