Rebels halfback Will Genia says the Super Rugby ladder‑leading Crusaders are beatable and is backing the Melbourne Rebels to rise to the challenge on Friday night.
In free‑fall from first to seventh after four successive losses, the Rebels have been given little chance of toppling the defending champions.
But Genia says the Rebels have belief they can be the side to end Australia's embarrassing run of 36‑straight losses against Kiwi teams in the competition.
He says the Crusaders play a really good brand of rugby ‑ they can play free‑flowing rugby and are very good at their set piece so it's going to be a huge challenge for them.
The Crusaders will play the Rebels at 9.45pm Friday.
