You hope the ARU is looking after the Waratahs No.10 financially, because he is the one player in Australia they cannot afford to lose.

I believe the gap between Foley and the next best No.10 in Australia is now greater than in any other position. Fullback Israel Folau could miss a game and the Wallabies would notice it, but it would not be a calamity with Dane Haylett-Petty around.

Considering his layoff and the nature of his injury, Foley was brilliant against the Rebels on Friday. When his pack woke up and started providing some good ball he was stressing the Rebels with his running game and link play.

But the bit I enjoyed the most? When Marika Koroibete lined him up, thinking he would straight over the top of him, and Foley brought him to deck with a lovely tackle around the legs.
