(Reuters) - Australia utility back Kurtley Beale suffered a serious knee injury in New South Wales Waratahs' 31-8 Super Rugby victory over the Bulls on Saturday, less than a day after agreeing a lucrative deal to join English side Wasps.

Wasps announced on Friday that he was joining the Coventry-based club and British media reported that the 27-year-old would become the highest-paid player in England on a two-year contract worth 1.5 million pounds.
