Hodge and Kellaway back for Rebels to take on Drua in Suva

Wallabies duo, Reece Hodge and Andrew Kellaway have both made a return from injury and head straight into the Melbourne Rebels’ 23-men match-day squad to take on the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua this Saturday in Suva.

Hodge was expected to miss up to four games with a gruesome finger injury but only sat out last week’s win over Reds, while Kellaway hasn’t played since fracturing his foot on Australia’s European tour last spring.

Coach Kevin Foote says his side is excited about the opportunity to play in Fiji as they look forward to boosting their chances of booking a finals berth.

He says every game is of great importance to them as they are desperate to play finals.

He further says playing in Fiji is going to be a great challenge and they saw the Crusaders go down to the Drua in Lautoka, so they know what the Drua are going to bring.

The Drua will host the Rebels at 3.35pm at the HFC Bank Stadium.
