The Brumbies ran in six tries to storm back to the top of the Super Rugby AU standings with an emphatic 38-11 bonus-point victory over the Waratahs at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.
Winger Tom Wright and No.8 Pete Samu scored two tries apiece in the second half after Andy Muirhead and Ryan Lonergan crossed in the first as the twice Super Rugby champions got back to winning ways after a loss to the Rebels.
In the weekend’s other match, the Reds demolished the Force 57-5 on Friday.
Filipo Daugunu and Tate McDermott both grabbed two tries, with flyhalf James O’Connor scoring one of his team’s eight tries and adding 17 points with the boot in a sparkling performance that will only burnish his claim to the Australia No.10 jersey for the Test season later this year.
