Waratahs side has been named and added to the first post. A few changes to the pack, but the backline remains unchanged.

Curious to see how Beale reacts in this game. So far his attitude has seemed good, so much better than last season. He's been performing fairly well, too. Seems happy on the pitch. I wonder, however, if he'll want to get a few cheap shots in this match - a bit of paybacks, as it were.

Hopefully by playing great rugby and scoring tries
Happy the man is "back"

 

[goodNumber10]

i've been really impressed with Beale at 12, could be the solution for the Walla's if he continues to step up, but also how good has Bernard Foley been this season? so much of it revolves around him, but having Beale allows him to just get on with it, and having Foley just allows Beale to get on with it.

Like the fact that Beale isn't the be all (sorry) and end all, less pressure on him now he's in the tah's he can just get on with playing his game.

 

[Jaguares]

OMG! Amazing move by Kurtley Beale and try by Israel Folau!!! Tahs 32 - Rebels 8, ​only 5 minutes left to finish the game.

 

[goodNumber10]

thank you Foley and Folau from everyone involved in my Fantasy rugby team...

 

[dasNdanger]

Just finished watching the game. I was impressed with Beale. He created opportunities but didn't hog the ball. How many times has a brilliant play been ruined in the end because a player tries to score himself, instead of passing the ball? Beale could have tried to show off for his old team, could have sought the tries himself, but instead he made good decisions and passed the ball. The 'tahs teamwork was quite good tonight.

Yes, the Rebels didn't manage to contain Beale or Folau the way that the Brumbies did last week ... ominous signs for any team that gives these guys space

Those two really do make a good team. I wonder how good the Tahs would be without one or the other? I'm not a fan of Beale's - he looks a lot like my neighbor (who's a woman) - and so when I see him on the pitch I just *see* her and it all seems rather weird. Still, he drew my attention with his behavior last year, and I so now I would like to see him do well rather than fail. I always like redemption type stories better than the train wrecks.

Yeah, I think the same. He really is an option at 12 for Wallabies.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Send a photo of your neighbor, pleaseeeeee

Keep in mind she's not an exact match, but I think you can see some similarities.
