All Blacks great Keven Mealamu believes Wallabies star Kurtley Beale poses the biggest threat to New Zealand during the upcoming Bledisloe Cup series.
The Wallabies haven't won the Bledisloe Cup since 2002 and they will be aiming to end that 16‑year drought during the upcoming three‑match series.
Beale has played 74 tests since making his international debut in 2009.
But it has been the 29‑year‑old's form in recent years that has really caught the attention of Mealamu.
While fullback Israel Folau remains the Wallabies' biggest star, Mealamu believes it is Beale who holds the key to victory during the upcoming Bledisloe Cup series.
The Wallabies will take part in a trial match on Friday in a bid to get them match‑ready for the August 18 clash with NZ in Sydney.
With Samu Kerevi and Tevita Kuridrani injured, Cheika will consider switching Folau to outside centre.
Reece Hodge and Curtis Rona are other options for the No.13 jersey.
