SYDNEY: Cabous Eloff scored a last-minute try as the Melbourne Rebels beat the Western Force 34-30 in their final regular season game of Super Rugby AU in Newcastle on Saturday to reach the playoffs for the first time.
The Reds finished the regular season with a 26-7 victory in Brisbane over the Brumbies, who had sealed top spot on the table and automatic qualification for the final before the last matches of the regular season on Saturday. "Credit to the Force, for a long period of the game there they were on top of us and yeah, it was a great effort to fight back and score that try."The Rebels, who joined Super Rugby in 2011, have never qualified for the playoffs in the broader competition, which included teams from South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and Japan.
The Melbourne-based side, needing to win by at least four points, raced to a 20-8 lead just before halftime.
