The Brumbies play the British and Irish Lions on Tuesday night at Canberra Stadium and their next Super Rugby match is the last of the regular season, against the Western Force on July 13.

The Brumbies' casualty ward boasts five stars all racing to be fit for the final Super Rugby game.

Prop Dan Palmer will meet medical staff to determine the extent of an injured toe that ruined his hopes of playing for the Wallabies against the British and Irish Lions.

It's a similar injury to the one for which he had surgery last year, this time on the other foot, and with just one game remaining before the finals he is fighting to get back on the field.

Winger Joseph Tomane suffered Wallabies heartbreak for the second time in less than 12 months, with a fractured toe set to rule him out of the first Test. The NRL convert made his Wallabies debut last year before an ankle injury put his Test career on hold.

The Brumbies rehab group also holds Nic White (shoulder), Fotu Auelua (shoulder) and George Smith (knee).

The extended Super Rugby bye has halted the club's on-field momentum after a a hat-trick of wins secured a drought-breaking finals appearance. But a month away from the brutal contact of the game gives players time to recuperate.

''It's a blessing in disguise [to have the four-week break],'' Auelua said. ''This break is going to help us get our heads right and we can focus on our game. It's come at a perfect time. We can get all these niggles out of the way and work on the things we need to so we can play against the Force.''

Australian teams have a bye until the end of the Wallabies' three-Test series against the Lions. Playing just one game before a play-off campaign is hardly ideal but it gives the busted Brumbies a chance a get back on the field.

Pat McCabe and Andrew Smith have just returned to full training after being on limited duties for most of the year. McCabe has played just seven games and is in camp with the Wallabies, while Smith has played just three minutes since March.

But the only two players unavailable for the Brumbies' first finals campaign since 2004 - barring injury over the next four weeks - are David Pocock and Ruaidhri Murphy, after both had knee reconstructions.

The Brumbies will return to training on Thursday to start preparations for the clash with the Lions. Coach Jake White is expected to pick his strongest available side for the match.

Powerful No.8 Auelua was shattered when he injured his shoulder and is still devastated at having to watch the Lions series from the sideline.

''I was in a pretty deep hole for a week, but now I just need to keep focused on getting right,'' he said. ''But the Brumbies have the finals coming up and that's the most important thing.

''Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be back doing all the training with the team.

''We're in a good position to make our mark this year.''
