Tom Wright and Tom Banks boost ACT Brumbies' Super Rugby AU attacking form

But that's not how the ACT Brumbies winger has surged to the top of the Super Rugby AU try scoring rankings. Nor is it how the club has secured home ground advantage for the tournament decider.

Instead the Brumbies have built a championship charge on the training paddock at their University of Canberra base, with competition for spots putting players like Wright in line for Wallabies gold.

The Brumbies' back three all of Wright, fullback Tom Banks and right winger Andy Muirhead all scored tries in a win over the Western Force at Canberra Stadium this past Friday.

They combined for three of the ladder leaders' five tries against the Force - and they could have had more if three weren't overturned - taking the club's tally to 11 in two games.

Wright and Banks are being sized up for Wallabies jerseys at season's end. Wright leads the competition with five tries, and Banks is nearing his best having split the Force line at will.

Then there is Muirhead, who club coaches see as a pure footballer. Throw in Solomone Kata as the club's other leading wing option and coach Dan McKellar has a huge selection headache for this week's round 10 clash with the Queensland Reds.

Because Kata has spent the past two weeks at outside centre with Tevita Kuridrani on the sideline.

"You can't really just turn up on Saturday and expect to just turn it on, you've got to do it during the week," Wright said.

"That's something we've got the luxury of being able to do, just because of the pure competitiveness in the squad.

"That's what is showing out on the field, especially in the past three games when we've been using the ball a lot more which has been good. We'd love to see more opportunities every week out in the wide channels.

"I don't have to do too much for a few of [the tries], I've just got to catch the ball and run five or 10 metres most of the time. I'm on the end of a lot of good work."

The Brumbies' outside backs have played starring roles over the past two weeks with the competition favourites proving they are anything but one-trick ponies reliant on a rolling maul.

"It helps when you've got a strong forward pack and rolling maul, it gives us chances on edges," Banks said.

"But Andy, Wrighty, they can beat people one on one and it's really easy for myself to have those players on the edges you can rely on.

"We knew we had to get a job done and we would get a home final, but the Force really brought it early. In that first 20 minutes we were under a lot of pressure.

"We found early we were probably shifting it to edges and not really achieving too much. At half-time the focus was to play through them, and then the space would open up on the edge."
