MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia utility back Kurtley Beale will miss the Wallabies' June tests against Fiji, Scotland and Italy but France-based scrumhalf Will Genia will be available for selection, coach Michael Cheika said on Thursday.

Beale suffered a hamstring injury in Wasps' English Premiership semi-final win over Leicester last weekend and Cheika had already signalled he might rest the playmaker until the Rugby Championship in August.
