SYDNEY (Reuters) - The Melbourne Rebels, one of two Australian Super Rugby clubs threatened with the axe, said on Tuesday they had signed former England lock Geoff Parling for next season.

The 33-year-old second row helped Exeter to their first English Premiership title last month and played 29 tests for his country up to the end of the 2015 Rugby World Cup as well as three tests for the British and Irish Lions in 2013.
