Rebels re-sign four as ARU axe hovers

Melbourne Rebels have re-signed captain Nic Stirzaker and three forwards for the 2018 Super Rugby season.

Melbourne Rebels have re-signed captain Nic Stirzaker and forwards James Hanson, Steve Cummins and Fereti Sa'aga despite the Super Rugby club's future being unclear.

Lock Cummins and prop Sa'aga have re-committed for a further two seasons, while halfback Stirzaker and hooker Hanson will remain for at least the 2018 season.

The Rebels and Western Force have continued signing player contracts despite the Australian Rugby Union considering the clubs for axing from the Super Rugby competition.
