The ACT Brumbies put their Super Rugby campaign back on track after a comprehensive 37-10 bonus-point victory over the Melbourne Rebels in an all-Australian clash.

The Brumbies were top of the Australian conference before leaving for South Africa earlier this month, but losses to the Cheetahs and the Bulls saw last year's runners-up drop out of the top six.

Flyhalf Matt Toomua ran in two tries to stake his claim for a Wallabies spot for the upcoming test series against France as the Brumbies bounced back with a six-try to one victory in Canberra.

Solid in defence, the Brumbies got on the board after three minutes and booked a four-try bonus point by the 30th minute, never relaxing their grip on the lop-sided contest.
