A woman accusing rugby star Kurtley Beale of rape made hand-written notes to herself before confronting him with the allegations in a secretly recorded phone call.
One mentioned trying to "convince him he is guilty and not innocent", a court heard on Thursday.
Beale, 35, is standing trial in the NSW District Court on one count of sexual intercourse without consent and two of sexual touching following an incident at Bondi's Beach Road Hotel in December 2022.
The former Wallabies playmaker has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The woman, who cannot be identified, spoke to Beale about a month after the alleged assault in a call recorded by police without his knowledge.
She also wrote in her notes “he will be better off if he confesses” and reminded herself to "act friendly and normal".
Beale's barrister, Margaret Cunneen SC, concluded her lengthy cross-examination of the woman, who says Beale touched her backside and forced her to perform oral sex in the toilet cubicle, on Thursday.
"You wanted to convince him he was guilty didn’t you?” Cunneen put to the woman regarding her call to Beale.
“No," she replied.
"Wasn’t the point of the conversation to get him to admit the acts?" Ms Cunneen said.
"I really wanted an apology," the woman said.
During the call, Beale apologised profusely to the woman, saying he "misread the situation".
“I know you misread the situation - that doesn’t matter,” the woman told Beale in the conversation.
Beale asked the woman if the call was being recorded, which she denied, telling him her therapist told her to make the call.
Ms Cunneen suggested interactions between Beale and the woman on the night were consensual and she concocted a sexual assault to gain sympathy from her fiance, with whom she was having relationship issues.
"You have made this up for your own purposes to save the proposed marriage that you had been anticipating so excitedly," Ms Cunneen put to the woman.
But the woman denied her contact with Beale was consensual and that she had been flirtatious with him before the alleged assault.
On Thursday, the woman's fiance told the court he woke up to her "bawling her eyes out" on the morning after the alleged assault.
“I woke up and she was crying," he told the court.
“I was asking her what was wrong and she wouldn’t tell me.
“She said, ‘Don’t you remember last night?'" he said.
Beale's lawyers have highlighted CCTV footage showing the woman talking with her fiance and the rugby player in the minutes immediately after the alleged assault.
Ms Cunneen suggested the woman's behaviour did not reflect her version of events, questioning why she did not leave the venue or alert security.
The woman says she did ask to leave and told her fiance Beale had "tried to kiss her" in the bathroom but refrained from elaborating further so as not to upset him at the time.
The woman's fiance told the court he remembers her saying Beale tried to kiss her, to which he replied with words to the effect of "that's weird".
He also recalled the woman saying several times that she wanted to leave after returning from the bathroom, which they did soon after.
