SYDNEY: Five talking points ahead of this weekend's round of Super Rugby matches: REBELS GOT GOOD NEWS The Melbourne Rebels go into their crunch ...

REBELS GOT GOOD NEWSThe Melbourne Rebels go into their crunch game at home to the NSW Waratahs on Friday buoyed by Will Genia being cleared to play after he was knocked out last weekend.

Golden Lions' three-season dominance of the South African conference will be in jeopardy if they lose at home to the bottom-of-the-table Western Stormers Saturday. The 2016, 2017 and 2018 Super Rugby runners-up will be lifted by the return of Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx, who was rested for last weekend's defeat at the Coastal Sharks.No chances will be taken with Brodie Retallick.

White said they would be taking no chances with the big lock."He's been doing a lot more training in the last few weeks and if he's good to go he'll play. If it's touch and go we won't risk it," he said.NSW Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson says the team's final three games are crucial for players looking to press their case to be in the Wallabies squad for the World Cup.
