Beale had a funny old game.
In the first half I thought the "experiment" of him at 12 had run its course. Just like against the Brumbies last week, the Rebels had success rushing up at him and forced him to either go backwards and/or into giving a poor pass that put his teammate under pressure.
In the 2nd half the Rebels seemed to forget what had worked for them and stood off Beale and presented him with too many attacking options that led to him throwing the money ball for the Tahs' 3 tries.
To Beale's credit he weathered the first half storm and showed what a valuable asset he is to the team. Given that Foley & Folau are playing in their best positions, 12 seems to be Beale's rightful place until dreaded injuries arise.
