The visitors had to play the final 13 minutes with 14 men after replacement midfielder Sio Tomkinson was red carded for a no-arms tackle.
Centre Rob Thompson says All Blacks fullback Ben Smith who played the entire game, and halfback Aaron Smith who came off the bench to score the winning try, stepped up.
He says Aaron sped the game up while Ben stepped up at first receiver.
The Rebels have upset the Brumbies 34-27.
