Show Preview
The Melbourne Rebels are at home to the Queensland Reds in Round 9 of Super Rugby Pacific. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:45pm AEST.
Reds code-hopper Suli Vunivalu returns to Melbourne, where he starred for the Storm in the NRL, for his first outing this season.
Vunivalu has been hampered by persistent hamstring issues, playing just seven times in two years at the Reds, and captain Tate McDermott was excited to see him selected.
“Suli, how good, back in Melbourne, hopefully he brings a couple of Melbourne Storm fans with him,” said McDermott.
“He started to hit his straps last year then his hammy went. We were absolutely gutted for him. I spent a bit of time in rehab with him and he’s someone who’s awesome to be around – just his aura – so James will put up a couple of kicks for him and see what he can do.
“I imagine he would have been incredibly frustrated but he’s the kind of guy who doesn’t show it. He’s been awesome for this team, the boys love him, love having a superstar around, it’s awesome for our club.”
