TAMATI Ellison has urged Melbourne to quickly learn from its mistakes as the Rebels prepare to challenge the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday night.
The All Black centre lamented Melbourne's sloppy execution in its 33-30 loss to the Highlanders in Dunedin on Friday.
A quiet but highly influential member of the Rebels' backs, Ellison approaches every match believing victory is possible.
And while toppling the defending Super Rugby champion at home is a huge assignment, Ellison has told teammates to use the bitter lessons from last week as a spur.
"I think it depends how you use it (failure)," he said.
"If you let it break you, it probably will.
"If you go back and get stuck in the game and think about it for weeks and weeks, it will help you.

"We can learn from our mistakes and work on getting it right.
"That's all you can do. You have only five or six days and the Chiefs aren't a bad side are they?
"We've got to get on for the next team but before you do that, you've got to get your own things right.
"We need to get things right as a team and individually and there's not much time."
Melbourne suffered from its inability to exit cleanly from its defensive zone because of shoddy kicking.
The Highlanders hammered Melbourne — sometimes dubiously — as the Rebels tried to clear their own half.
Bryce Hegarty was concussed only two minutes into the match, while Stirzaker was illegally tackled by Kurt Baker at the ruck.
Baker was suspended for six weeks after being found guilty of foul play.

Melbourne coach Tony McGahan expects a sharp improvement in kicking against the Chiefs after several attempts against the Highlanders ended in conceded points.
While the Rebels have an injury depleted list, the Chiefs also have their own problems with Aaron Cruden out for eight weeks with a broken thumb.
"He's started every game for us since 2012 so he's been a big part of our success and you do miss players like that because they're world class, but we're fortunate we have depth in that position and we're keen to give Gareth Anscombe a run," Chiefs' coach David Rennie said.
Winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma (knee) is also unavailable along with Robbie Fruean, Robbie Robertson, Charlie Ngatai and James Lowe.
"We get used to playing with certain players out, and others have to stand up and front for us, but there is no reason we can't go out with a competitive side and get the job done," Rennie said.
