Recall? Quade Cooper trains last week. Credit:Anthony Johnson The only thing that has saved Beale from being replaced was the lack of options on the Wallabies reserves bench, which only had two backs in its seven-man contingent. While knowing Beale is one of their few real attacking threats, some in the Wallabies camp believe it will take some time for him to get over such a demoralising Test, and it would be wiser to play more settled individuals in an international the Wallabies must win to keep the Bledisloe Cup series alive. The call for Cooper to return to the team will also be strong, especially as he would provide more midfield kicking options, and hopefully reignite a stagnant attack that has scored only six tries in five Tests this season. Australia's try on Saturday night came from a forward charge by veteran second-rower Nathan Sharpe. Wallabies coach Robbie Deans talked to a demoralised Beale in the change rooms, and later at the team hotel. Asked the reason for Beale's form collapse, Deans said: ''There was nothing obvious. It will be one [game] he will be pretty keen to forget.''

''But he'll learn off those mistakes, because he's the man,'' Ioane said. Beale was recently embroiled in off-field dramas, last month appearing in Brisbane Magistrates Court on charges he assaulted a security guard at a popular hotel. The case was adjourned until August 22 in an attempt to resolve the matter through mediation. Deans admitted team changes for Eden Park were inevitable. ''We will consider our combinations this week. Quade will be considered - no doubt about that. We've got to try to find ways to win, which isn't straightforward,'' he said. Deans's frustration over a substandard performance was evident after the game and again yesterday. ''We'd have to be better. That wouldn't be too hard,'' Deans said. ''It's frustrating when there's two set-piece tries against us. It shouldn't happen. The team just didn't play well. We tried to play too much rugby down our end. No one can beat these blokes while making unforced errors and just giving them access to playing.''
