Rebels will be ready for rugby restart - Wessels

While talks continue at Rugby Australia, Melbourne Rebels coach Dave Wessels says his Super Rugby team is hanging out for a play date and will need three weeks training once they get the green light.

The Rebels, like the other Australian sides, are waiting for Rugby Australia to declare a start date for some kind of competition, with early July mooted.

With international borders, apart from New Zealand, likely to be closed for many more months, Rugby Australia is believed to be looking at a domestic competition to replace Super Rugby, followed by finals against New Zealand teams.

That may or may not include the Sunwolves, who are a part of the Australian conference.
