Mixed injury news for Rebels ahead of Canes clash

Melbourne Rebels have received some mixed injury news ahead of a daunting trip across the Tasman to face the competition-leading Hurricanes in Wellington.

The Rebels, who gave up an early 13-3 lead to lose 20-16 to the Lions in Melbourne last Friday, will regain rising fly-half Jack Debreczeni but will be without winger Dom Shipperley who will miss at least the next four weeks with a broken hand.

Debreczeni will likely slot straight back in at fly-half for the clash with the unbeaten Hurricanes with Mike Harris reverting to his usual position at fullback. Sefanaia Naivalu appears to be Shipperley's likely replacement on the wing with the Fijian flyer impressing in a handful of opportunities from the bench this season.

The Rebels last defeated the Hurricanes in their inaugural season but didn't face the Wellington side in 2014.
