Folau in, Beale and Cooper out for Wallabies

Israel Folau has been included the Wallabies' logistics camp ahead of the British & Irish Lions tour this summer.
The Waratahs full-back, who has only played seven Super Rugby games since his high profile cross-code switch from Aussie Rules, is one of seven uncapped players in the 30-man squad named by Robbie Deans to complete the team's pre-Lions commercial obligations.
Uncapped Brumbies duo Jesse Mogg and Christian Lealiifano have also been included while Quade Cooper and Kurtley Beale have both been left out but Deans is denied the fact they were out of contention to face the Lions.
Deans said: “Israel has confirmed what we knew really, I mean we've seen Israel play top level sport routinely and he's very comfortable in the arena, he enjoys the big stage. His transition to union has been remarkably smooth.”
Folau said: “Obviously I'm pretty excited just to be invited to the camp, for me that's a huge honour already.
“I'm certainly feeling a lot more comfortable and confident each week I'm playing the game. It'll be a massive honour for me obviously to represent the Wallabies.”
On Cooper and Beale's omission, Deans added: “Kurtley's obviously not playing at the moment, he's sought help which is great and he's going through a counselling process,” Deans said of Beale, who is taking an indefinite break from the game to deal with personal issues relating to alcohol.
“That's a great first step for Kurtley but he's got to go through that and that'll run its course and if and when he becomes available obviously we'd consider it (selecting him) then.”
“He'd return to the Rebels and play so we'd obviously observe with interest and go from there. There's still some boxes he has to tick but if and when he comes back and plays… there's still a lot of rugby to be played and a lot of opportunity for everyone to press their claims.”
“I think Quade is working his way back, he's starting to put some good pieces together,” Deans said. We've talked routinely and he's very clear, he understands what's required at this level. He's got a good insight into what we're looking for and we can see him working at that stuff as well, so that's good.”
The first group of 25 players to go into a Wallabies camp ahead of the Lions tour on June 3 will be announced on May 19, with six players to be added when Super Rugby breaks for the June Tests on June 11.
