One of the most tumultuous periods in the history of Australian rugby has played out its final chapter, with the ARU reaching an out-of-court settlement with former Wallaby manager Di Patston.
Patston left her position with the Wallabies late last year in the wake of the Kurtley Beale texting scandal. But the matter was far from over with Patston taking the ARU to court to pursue her grievances against her former employer.
Documents had been lodged with the Federal Circuit Court of Australia in Brisbane, with the parties set for a showdown in June if the matter had progressed to a hearing.
But lawyers for the ARU and Patston have agreed to a settlement, putting an end to a chain of events that would also witness the dramatic resignation of former Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie.

Patston's lawyer, Robert Warren, said his client now wanted to put the matter behind her.
"Di is happy to move on with her life," Warren said.
