According to FoxSprots, O'Conner to 10 and Roberts to fullback. Which leaves Kingi on the wing I guess.

Melbourne Rebels stand-in captain James O'Connor has been switched to five-eighth in place of the injured Kurtley Beale for Friday's Super Rugby clash against the Queensland Reds.
With O'Connor taking over the playmaker role from Beale, who has a broken hand, uncapped utility Angus Roberts gets his chance at fullback for the Rebels in the match at AAMI Park.

What's up with Delve? He was rested for a week and hasn't come back this week. Has JOC (James O'Connor) vetoed his return?

Or Ian Prior. He's still wasting away on the bench at the Brumbies. Coulda stayed home & done that & have his chance now!

Or Kingi, or McKibbon, or Swanepoel. But that's just life in rugby these days. Players go where the opportunity is. If Genia and Lucas were both fit then there wouldn't be an opportunity for someone else.

Deep, meaningful, and physiological - the moving hand writes, and having writ, moves on.......

I dont know if anybody has mentioned this but it looks like Ant will be back for this game... i reckon he will be coming off the bench

I'd be expecting the same side that took the Hurricanes to be playing. The only changes I can see happening is Morahan on for Toua. Ideally I'd prefer Hanson to start of Saia as well.

Reds were first team named the last 2 weeks and now back to taking there time. Hopefully it is just to give Horwill every chance to prove he is fit.

Horwill has been out for the best part of 12 months - hope he returns next week with Genia a week or two later - those 2 will really add to the team

This is a Grand Final for the Rebels, lose and we're up against it in 2013. We are throwing everything behind filling the stadium tomorrow night to bring home 4 5 points.

Rebels members, help the Rebel Army cheer the boys on and we'll let you bring a mate for free.

Reds named. Ant back, Lance and Frisby into starting side, no Morahan in 22.

9 and 15 aside that's a strong looking team. I'm a bit baffled how Morahan is out of the 22, I thought he did really well when he came on last week.

I'm not sure the rebs can do it without Beale and Delve but if they play well enough in parts like last week it shouldn't be a cricket score at least.

It says something about the depth of the reds when every player on their bench would probably be in the rebels starting side.

Doesn't mean anything once they run out of the field though. I expect this to be a close one. Hope melbourne can pull a good crowd. I know digby is always an attraction.
