The
Herald reported last week that unless the Rebels made a Super Rugby AU final, Wessels’ position was in serious jeopardy, with the board agitating for change.
The Rebels beat the Waratahs in their final match of the season – to give Wessels an overall win record of 44 per cent from four seasons - but missed out on the top three following the Western Force’s upset win over the Queensland Reds.
