The Melbourne Rebels have been embroiled in yet another off-field controversy with two players suspended indefinitely over an alleged assault outside a nightclub.

Pone Fa'amausili and Hunter Paisami have been stood down pending the outcome of a police investigation into the alleged incident in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A Facebook post from a woman claiming to be the sister of the victim accused the pair of hitting her brother from behind and leaving him to bleed on the ground.
