Surely all the Welsh have to do is offer Beale a few 'tinnies', tell him the ref is a bouncer who won't let him have his way - then sit back and watch the wheels fall off.

Wallabies for last three years or more been International team consistently in most exciting rugby games i reckon.
As a New Zealander, sure have had a touch of the Crusaders about them but not always the same type of formation as them, & actually have had a good touch of the classic rugby enigma excitement of the haymaking days of the Otago Rugby team when under Mains & even the classic Red & Black team of Dean's own Ranfurly Shield era of the old school NZ provincial rugby competitions. Great stuff!
Another interesting tussle ahead, & furthermore will they be the official 'IT' team of world rugby by end of season? Great stuff!

Aussie by 4. This Aus team is the strongest of the test series. If Beale gets some space then look out Wales(or creates his own space)

rico -- hahaha yeah i said on the article where the welsh defence coach wanted to talk to the refs that he is so unbelievable he drives the opposition nuts to the point where they are running around like headless chooks trying to see if the refs have some miracle solution for them haha its unprecedented

Never mind Beale being back ,imo the revalation for Australia is B.Barnes he has played superbly this series and with alot of pressure on his shoulders aswell,as the only fit wallaby FH belaying his S15 form .His outclassed R,Preistland by along way ,and shown his short commings up .Preistland on current form isnt going to be a Lion test starter ,and maybe not even on tour ,as Sexton ,Flood and Laidlaw imho have all been alot better.Anyway back to Barnes ,his vision and kicking have ben fantastic ,and along with Genia his got the wallaby backline moving .QC i feel is going to be lucky to get the 10 jersey back for the RC imho.

So true to say that Wales have been a disappointment. They have one game left to restore some pride but the major opportunity has been lost. It somehow reminds me of the Ospreys who for years have been the standout team in Wales on paper, yet rarely show as they did this year their true potential. Must be so disappointing for welsh fans seeing key players loose form, play naieve rugby, and give awaysilly points. Having said that, what I saw of the second half they mullered the Aussies up front only to be penalised later despite the Aussies breaking off from the back of the scrum, Pocock is pretty good at that, but a great player never the less. (Shading McCaw know I think) Beale is great, pure class and I hope he plays to form.

Can't help but feel massive disappointment from the Welsh in this series. It was the chance to come over to Australia and show the Aussies how far Wales had come and what a good side they were. The management would have (and should have) expected to win this series. However, as much as Wales huffed and puffed, they have slipped back to being naive and not seeing out tight games. The first test they didn't come out the blocks quick enough and the second was the inability to see out a game they 'should' have won. Did they think the Aussies would be easier to beat? They are number two in the world rankings!! A poor tour for Wales who have gone backwards unfortunately. Let's hope the salvage something on Saturday.

Pocock, Pocock, poocock.... can't get this guy out of my head he must be terrorising the welsh players mindset as well - even danny lydiate smashing him (little bit late and no arms) didn't even put him off his game. The more annoying thing is he comes across as a top fella in the post match interview's who's just out on the paddock having fun - whilst seemingly winding up 100% non-aussie PR contributors... oh yeah and Beale's back....
