Cheika plays his cards close to his chest

Australia

coach Michael Cheika may be set to end the Kurtley Beale fly-half experiment and restore Bernard Foley to the No. 10 shirt for Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash with rejuvenated South Africa.

With the Wallabies under fire after slipping to seventh in the world rankings, Cheika said he was ready to play “any combination”. “It’s a matter of whether we want to build on the last two games (and) give those guys another opportunity. Or do we throw Bernard back in there? I have a pretty solid idea of what I want to do.” (Reuters)
