The Super Rugby club will be axed after the current season, with a rescue bid blocked from taking over the licence by Rugby Australia due to questions about its viability.
The Rebels have been in voluntary administration since January with debts owed to creditors exceeding 23 million dollars including an 11.5 million dollar debt to the Aussie tax office.
The Rebels say while it is undoubtedly a sad day, the clarity that this decision provides for players and staff is welcome.
