Durban - Australia fullback Kurtley Beale sees Saturday's Tri-Nations Test against South Africa as an immediate chance to put things right after last weekend's defeat by New Zealand.

Beale says: "Obviously we want to turn things around very quickly and we're glad to have the opportunity this week."

The Springboks are set to recall a string of senior players to test Australia in both teams' penultimate game before next month's World Cup.
