If you're talking about Beale - it is simply that he has the cred at Test level. He clearly gives Deans something (besides covering a few positions) that Quade does not.
'Cred' like dropping the ball and missing numerous tackles in that first test against the All Blacks? Sorry mate but he is maybe slightly less error prone that Quade. They are both high risk high return players that have proven throughout their history to be effective together on a pitch. This constant claim that test rugby MUST be conservative and MUST be a percentage game is negative and is not what Australian rugby is about.
