MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Robbie Deans has given James O'Connor another chance at flyhalf and promoted Kurtley Beale to starting fullback for the Wallabies' must-win second test against the British and Irish Lions in Melbourne on Saturday.

O'Connor struggled in the pivotal position during the Wallabies' 23-21 loss in the first test in Brisbane, but will have a chance to make amends for the match at Docklands Stadium.
