Beale could be Wallabies No.12: AAC

the response would be that he was TOO close to his family!

Beale has never really shone that much on the big stage. He luvs the easier stuff of super rugby but when the pressures on does he really come up with the goods? Whereas Kyle seems to have a calmer presence of mind for a guy his age & doesn't panic easily.

Thats a really big call Val. Kyle didn't exactly shine at the Junior World cup last time he had a chance to run at (close to) international level. He ran the ball pretty well, but kis kickong (in about every instance) was woeful. Personally I htink Kyle provides a better all around option at 12, but I would hesitate on the 'more capable in the forge of international rugby' call until after he's actually had a game!

Maybe a bigger problem will arise from being too close to his Buddy.

buddy IS family

Kurtley's first 2 games needs some close watching....

He was missing for most of these games and popped-up to score a try in each.

Non of the hard, consistent, tough stuff.

I don't rate his efforts to date.

PS....He still has his problem......and I hope he can rise above it!!!
