Rebels Seek Back-to-Back Wins Against Resurgent Drua
Returning victorious with the chocolates post their triumph against the Waratahs last weekend, the Rebels are eager to secure consecutive victories for the inaugural time this season.
Facing a daunting challenge, the Rebels must tidy up their performance to overcome the formidable Drua side, particularly in the void left by the injured captain, Rob Leota. This presents a significant opportunity for Maciu Nabolakasi stepping in for Leota.
Rebels.
Nick Jooste, Darby Lancaster, Filipo Daugunu, David Feiliuai, Glen Vaihu, Carter Gordon, Ryan Louwrens, Tuaiana Taii Tualima, Angelo Smith, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Josh Canham, Sam Talakai, Jordan Uelese, Matt Gibbon.
Reserves. Mason Gordon, Matt Proctor, James Tuttle, Vaiolini Ekuasi, Daniel Maiava, Taniela Tupou, Isaac Kailea, Alex Mafi.
Drua Make Tactical Changes for Crucial Away Clash
In their quest for their inaugural away victory of the season, the Drua have implemented numerous alterations. Vilive Miramira reclaims his position in the starting lineup, with captain Meli Derenalagi also reinstated to the squad.
Although they reveled in the unpredictable and untamed rugby conditions last weekend, the Drua understand the necessity for their forward pack to establish a solid foundation to overpower the Rebels in Melbourne.
Drua
Ilaisa Droasese, Selestino Ravutaumada, Iosefo Masi, Apisalome Vota, Epeli Momo, Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, Frank Lomani, Meli Derenalagi, Kitione Salawa, Vilive Miramira, Leone Rotuisolia, Mesake Vocevoce, Mesake Doge, Tevita Ikanivere, Haereiti Hetet.
Reserves. Zuriel Togiatama, Livai Natave, Jone Koroiduadua, Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta, Elia Canakaivata, Simione Kuruvoli, Waqa Nalaga, Taniela Rakuro
Prediction.
This could be a very tight contest and the team that takes their opportunities will come out on top.
I like the Drua with a points start for betting purposes. I found plus 6 points at the moment but check again on Friday.
