Rebels look to put Beale-Vuna incident behind them
Rebels captain Gareth Delve has expressed that the team is looking past the controversial events following Kurtley Beale and Cooper Vuna, and will focus on taking on the Cheetahs in Round 7 of the 2013 Super Rugby tournament.
Vuna then went on to tweet about the incident, making it public knowledge.
“I’m a professional rugby player. For the most part, my relationship with Kurtley has been excellent,” said Delve.
“It’s not something I can’t get past.”
Delve said that Beale and Vuna apologised to the team before the duo were sent home on separate flights.
The next goal for the Rebels lies in performing against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday, 30 March 2013.
“We’ve got a great opportunity to come out this week to turn things around and to put things right,” Delve added.
“We owe everyone a big performance this week.”
Coach Damien Hill knows that there is a big hill to climb following the incident in Durban, along with the beating given by the Sharks.
“Everyone was embarrassed and angry post-game but they’ve had a good look at themselves and, as a result, the team’s even more focused,” said Hill.
“I’ve been pleased with the way they’ve stuck together.”
