Bonus points have been hard to come by this season, but the Brumbies know they need to start laying on the tries if they are to stay in the hunt for the Super Rugby title.

The ACT franchise returned to the top of the Australian conference last Friday with a win over the Bulls, ending a two‑game losing streak.

They sit level on points with the NSW Waratahs, who beat the Cheetahs, and two points ahead of the Rebels, who they meet this Friday.

The Brumbies play the Rebels at 9.40pm Friday.
