Fresh off their 1st win in Super Rugby, the Rebels travel to Hamilton to take on the Chiefs.
The Rebels may have recorded their 1st win last weekend, and Cipriani also recieved his 1st full match fee fine for stealing a bottle of Vodka from a bar during the celebrations, but now they travel and find out what Super Rugby is really about.
The Chiefs should win a close one.
