Fijian Drua defeatde the Melbourne Rebels to end the Crusaders’ hopes.
THE FIJIAN DRUA overwhelmed the Melbourne Rebels 40-19 on Saturday to snatch the last Super Rugby quarter-final berth and end the play-off hopes of perennial champions the Canterbury Crusaders .
It could also be the last match the Rebels play, after Rugby Australia on Thursday rejected a private bid to take over the debt-laden club and said it would be shut down. However, they will miss the quarter-finals by two points, just the second time they’ve failed to advance to the play-offs since 2001.
