Cooper, Beale in hotel incident

Updated June 08, 2012 14:20:28

Wallabies stars Quade Cooper and Kurtley Beale are in hot water again as the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) investigates a late night scuffle at a popular Brisbane city hotel.

The two sidelined backs were allegedly involved in an incident with security guards outside the Victory Hotel after trying to re-enter the venue.

It is understood a scuffle broke out after the high-profile pair, who had previously left the venue, wanted to resume drinking but were denied access in the early hours of Friday morning.

Police were called but no arrests were made at the time.

CCTV footage caught vision of the incident and the pair could face further police questioning.

The ARU confirmed it had been made aware of the incident and the issue will be referred to an ARU disciplinary review procedure.

Former Wallabies team manager and federal policeman Phil Thomson is the ARU integrity officer and will be in charge of the disciplinary review.
