SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Dave Rennie received a boost on Thursday when it was confirmed that lock Matt Philip will be returning to Australia with the Melbourne Rebels for the next Super Rugby season.

Rennie identified the second row as a problem position when he took over last year but Philip was outstanding in the engine room and started all six of Australia's Bledisloe Cup and Tri-Nations matches.
