Wallabies need to strike attacking balance

Kurtley Beale and Israel Folau will be reunited on Saturday night, and it didn’t take much for the fullback to show exactly why Beale’s return is so anticipated by Australia.

One of Australia’s most prolific Test finishers can’t wait to have his Waratahs teammate back,  just for the flow-on of confidence the utility has in a side.

Wallabies star Kurtley Beale to return to Australia

The former Waratahs centre is currently the highest earning player in England after signing a A$1.5 million (NZ$1.63m) one-year deal, with the option of a second season, last May.

Beale had to wait until December to make his debut for Wasps after suffering a serious knee injury during a Super Rugby clash just hours after signing for the English giants.

He's been in fine form since finally making it onto the field, helping Wasps to the top of the Aviva Premiership table with two tries in last week's win over Bath.
