Melbourne Rebels have added Afusipa Taumoepeau to their squad ahead of their inaugural season. The new franchise, who have already added the likes of Stirling Mortlock and Danny Cipriani to their roster, have recruited Taumoepeau from the Brumbies. The 20-year-old outside back has represented Australia Under-20s and played for the Wallabies at the IRB Sevens World Cup in Dubai. He becomes the 32nd member of the Rebels, who have also announced that they will play the Crusaders in a friendly fixture on February 5 at the new AAMI Park in Melbourne.
