Bernard Foley has been dropped and Kurtley Beale will start at flyhalf against South Africa tomorrow night in a major backline shake‑up by the Wallabies.

Wallabies Coach Michael Cheika has revamped the core of his backline for the must‑win clash at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium with Beale selected to start his first Test in the No.10 jersey since 2014.

The 76‑Test back will direct the show from five‑eighth with Matt Toomua earning a promotion to start at inside centre.
