Fullback Dane Haylett-Petty’s return from injury has provided a timely boost for the Rebels as they seek to win their final match of Super Rugby AU against the Force tomorrow (6.55am) and qualify for playoffs for the first time.
The Rebels need to beat the winless Force by at least four points to ensure they finish third in the domestic competition.
The Brumbies, who have already locked up top spot and guaranteed a place in the final on September 19, face the second-placed Reds in Brisbane in the last game of the regular season at 11.15am tomorrow.
The Reds play the third-placed team next weekend, with the Waratahs currently occupying that position but need the Force to provide a massive upset to retain it, for a spot in the final.
