ACT Brumbies attacking weapon Banks will play his first game in almost a month in the clash against the Wellington Hurricanes, despite spending the past three weeks on Wallabies duties.

The 24-year-old has scored four tries in the past three Super Rugby games, but is yet to taste victory or cross the line for a five-pointer in his five trans-Tasman matches.

Banks was the Brumbies' most dangerous player in their return to form in South Africa and he played so well he convinced Wallabies coaches to make him an understudy to Israel Folau.

"Banksy had a lot of belief, a lot of confidence and played with freedom [before the Super Rugby break]," said Brumbies coach Dan McKellar.

"I'm sure he learnt plenty in the Wallabies camp being exposed to the best players and some of the best coaches. He's just got to come back now, slot in and continue what he was doing because his attacking game was in really good shape."

McKellar also hoped referees and television match officials would make "commonsense" decisions after controversy plagued the Wallabies series against Ireland and New Zealand's matches against France.

Folau was suspended for one match after an aerial contest, causing major uproar given the Wallabies and NSW Waratahs star was trying to win the ball.

"I think you've just got to have some commonsense and consistency. And understand you play in a collision sport," McKellar said.

"Every now and then accidents are going to happen. Israel didn't go into that contest to injure anyone. We don't want to take away the contest and physicality that makes rugby the game it is."

Meanwhile, McKellar has spoken with Brumbies winger Chance Peni about playing with controlled aggression when he makes his return from his fourth suspenion in 13 months.

Peni was hit with a six-week ban for a lifting tackle in Canberra club rugby last weekend.

"I was with Chance when he faced the judiciary on Monday night. It's disappointing. He's shattered," McKellar said.

"One of Chance's strengths is that he's a physical player. He's an in-your-face sort of player and you don't want to take that away. He's just got to control his aggression."
