Michael Cheika to stick with winning formula
By Online Editors
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika is happy with the performances of Kurtley Beale and Matt Toomua and will look to use the pairing as the Rugby Championship progresses.
Cheika made the call to move Beale into first five-eighth in favour of Bernard Foley and reaped the rewards with a 23-18 victory over South Africa in Brisbane. Matt Toomua played outside in Beale's regular No. 12 jersey. It was the first time Foley hadn't started in 51 Tests.
Asked whether he would stick with the winning pair of Beale and Toomua Cheika said "Yeah, I definitely think they did a good job out there in some difficult circumstances."
"They had some nice plays set up that just didn't come up but that's the first week they've played together. I think Bernard went quite well when he came on the field and that's exactly what we want. We want to have competition for those spots."
Beale told Fox Sports there was still plenty to work on despite the win.
"We're working really hard on those combinations," Beale said post-match. "Tonight the conditions didn't really help with the dewy ball but I think our forwards stepped up and delivered a really solid platform for us to get the win."
Toomua, in his first start for the Wallabies since June 2016, said "it was just great to be out there. It's been a few hard weeks for us, a bit of soul searching here and there, so we'll enjoy that and then get back on the horse."
The Wallabies pulled of the win without stars Israel Folau and David Pocock who were both late scratches from Saturday's lineup. Folau failed to overcome an ankle injury suffered in the first Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney, while Pocock is battling a neck injury.
"I thought he [Folau] was going to play this week," Cheika said. "I'm certainly not going to say he's going to be there next week. I'm going to see how the week pans out prepare accordingly. I don't think he'd be too far away."
Of Pocock's neck injury Cheika said "He's still got a fair bit of neck stiffness. He's the ultimate pro, Pocock. He'll be doing everything he can to be back."
The Wallabies' next fixture will see them host Argentina on the Gold Coast next weekend.

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.
