Australia coach Robbie Deans has recalled problematic full-back Kurtley Beale to the starting lineup for their final Test match against Wales.
Beale hasn't played for his country since the World Cup third-place playoff against Wales in New Zealand last year after hamstring and shoulder injuries.
The 23-year-old was charged with common assault last week following an alleged altercation at a Brisbane hotel.
"It has been frustrating for Kurtley, and he's obviously had some off-field challenges to deal with as well, but it was important for all concerned that he had full confidence in his shoulder before we looked at re-introducing him to the Test arena," Deans said.
Wales conceded the series to the Wallabies with the final kick of the game in Saturday's 25-23 defeat.
