Samo recalled to starting lineup
Deans said Samo will bring in some aggression to the side.
Meanwhile, Deans has called in Kurtley Beale to the starting lineup with Quade Cooper given another chance at No10 against South Africa in Perth on Saturday night.
While Deans impatiently waits for the third member of the Amigos which is James O’Connor to return from injury, Beale and Cooper continue to seriously test their coach’s belief in their vast, unpredictable talents.
Cooper did not shine in his return to test rugby in the Wallabies’ 22-0 loss to the All Blacks in Auckland while Beale failed to spark in Sydney.
In the matches to be played this Saturday, the Wallabies will host the Springboks at 10:35pm after New Zealand faces Argentina at 7:35pm.
