Marika Koroibete will make his Super Rugby debut against the Hurricanes this Saturday.
Koroibete is amongst the three changes in the Rebels side alongside James Hanson and Mitch Inman to the starting line up.
Koroibete will make his first appearance in Rebels colours on the wing after a knee injury sidelined the Rugby League convert for the club’s pre season trial matches, Brisbane Global Rugby Tens and opening round.
The Rebels went down in their opening game of the season 56 18 to the Blues while the Hurricanes scored 13 tries against the Sunwolves to claim a 83 17 victory in Tokyo.
They will travel to Wellington to take on the Hurricanes at 4.15pm Saturday.
Meanwhile tonight, the Western Force will meet the Reds at 10.30pm.
