This week, the Rebels have been bolstered by the return of Captain Stirling Mortlock, who was a late withdrawal from last week’s game against the Highlanders with a hip injury.
The skipper’s return means that Jimmy Hilgendorf will move onto the bench against the Blues.
The Rebels will also welcome back Julian Huxley at fullback, while Richard Kingi has been named on the bench.
