However Beale's injury leaves Australia's midfield very thin too. Not only are they losing a world class fullback in Beale but the centre pairing of McCabe and Fainga'a sees them totally outclassed by Nonu and Smith.
Will not be surprised if a lot of damage is done through the centres when the ball gets to the backs.
Agreed with Rostos
