The equation is simple for the Melbourne Rebels, beat the Western Force by four points or more and you’re in the finals. Join The Roar for live scores from 3:00pm (AEST).
The long wait for a Super Rugby finals appearance could soon be over for the Rebels. They enter the final week in fourth place behind the Waratahs, who have the bye, with four competition points and three points in for-and-against to make up.
They’ll back themselves to get the job done against the winless Force. While seeing the West Australians back in Super Rugby has been great, they’ve not been up to the level of their more experienced opponents – although they did force Melbourne into extra time when they met earlier in the year.
Kick-off: 3:00pm (AEST)
Venue: McDonald Jones Stadium
TV: Fox Sports
Live stream: Kayo Sports, Foxtel
