Western Force edges Rebels 16-15 in Super Rugby Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Domingo Miotti converted a try from Tim Anstee with three minutes remaining to give the Western Force a 16-15 win over the Melbourne Rebels on Friday and keep alive the team's chances of a playoff berth in Super Rugby Australia.

The unbeaten Queensland Reds and the ACT Brumbies, who play in Brisbane on Saturday, already have the top two spots secured with the Rebels and Force bidding for the remaining place.

The Rebels dominated possession and territory but couldn’t manage a try, with the Force mauling the ball across after a five-meter lineout for their sole five-pointer.

The Force also managed with 14 men for 10 minutes after flanker Kane Koteka was yellow-carded after repeated team infringements
