Welcome to today's coverage of the Western Force vs the Melbourne Rebels. The Force will be hoping to end a four match losing streak to the Rebels in Super Rugby. The Force have yet to record a victory in this years competition, while the Rebels put on a fantastic performance to comfortably beat the Cheetahs in Melbourne last week. The average score between these two teams is 26:29 to the Rebels. A big congratulations goes out to Captain Matt Hodgson who plays his 100th Super Rugby game today.

Late change for the Rebels today as Tom English has been ruled out due to a virus. Lachlan Mitchell moves from the bench to start in his place and is in turn replaced by Telusa Veainu
