FORMER Wallabies captain Rocky Elsom is leading a consortium trying to buy the Melbourne Rebels and save them from the axe.
Elsom confirmed to the Daily Telegraph he is part of a group of private investors talking to Melbourne’s current owner, Andrew Cox, about purchasing the Rebels’ Super Rugby licence.
Former Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer is an adviser to Elsom’s consortium.
Elsom, who captained the Wallabies between 2009 and 2011, has been involved in club ownership before as part of an Australian consortium (along with Dwyer) that took over French club Narbonne in 2011.
