adminAlthough cleared of a stamping charge from the first Test after treading on Lions lock Alun Wyn Jones, Horwill must face a second hearing on Monday after the International Rugby Board controversially re-opened the case.
He would likely miss the series-decider in Sydney if sanctioned. “He leads by example in all facets of the game. Obviously he had his own distraction,” Beale told reporters in Melbourne on Sunday, the day after the Wallabies clinched a 16-15 win in the second test.
“The way he played last night was outstanding. Full credit to him for bouncing back.
“Just the way he carried himself the whole week, his head up high. Going into training sessions with a focus on what we had to do out there. “There was no lack of attention there, he was on the job all the time. He was always on his role. He did his job every well.
“That’s what opened it up for (Adam) Ashley-Cooper’s try out wide,” Beale added of the Wallabies centre’s late score that carried the hosts to victory. — Reuters.
