Melbourne Rebels have launched a lawsuit against Rugby Australia seeking AUD 30 million in damages following their Super Rugby exclusion. The franchise entered voluntary administration in January with debts exceeding €12.3 million and was shut down in June after Rugby Australia rejected a rescue deal. Administrators filed the complaint in the Federal Court, aiming to regain control of the team to continue competing. They assert the Rebels deserved fair treatment as Rugby Australia members. Rugby Australia is currently reviewing the situation. #melbournerebels,#rugbyaustralia,#legalaction
