Plus500 Brumbies head coach Dan McKellar has urged fans and the ACT community to come out and support the team as they make a push towards playing finals football in 2019.

After defeating the Sunwolves at home 33-0, the Brumbies have moved to the top of the Australian Super Rugby Conference and are closing in on a shot at finals football come June having won five home matches in succession.

The latest victory follows wins over the Chiefs, Waratahs, Lions and Blues as the Brumbies begin to turn GIO Stadium into a home fortress, a place where visiting teams fear to tread, and that can only be magnified by the supporters in the stands.

As the Brumbies hit a hot-streak of form at exactly the right time, McKellar has called for action by asking fans to come out and witness the Brumbies playing smart, attractive rugby and to help push the squad over the line as the season nears its conclusion.

"Whilst we're very grateful for our supporters and stakeholders that are here week in, week out, we want to be playing in front of bigger crowds than what we have been," McKellar said.

"Those people that are 50/50 at the moment, I'd say that we've got a good football team in a good position and playing in front of 14,000 people instead of 7,000 makes a huge difference to the players.

"They certainly feel that energy that the crowd brings. Hopefully, at our next home fixture, on a Friday night here against the Bulls, we get a good crowd because this football team is heading in the right direction."

The Plus500 Brumbies are choosing to celebrate the ACT community within the game day experience at GIO Stadium. With just two home games remaining of the regular Super Rugby season The Brumbies are looking to bring a spectacular feast of rugby and off-field entertainment to the Canberra community and rally strong support.

The Brumbies will host a special Indigenous Round in recognition of Reconciliation Day when they take on the Bulls on Friday 24 May, looking to keep their winning streak in Canberra intact on a charge towards the finals.

As well as entertainment from indigenous bands and dancers, who will be performing pre-game and during half-time, there will be junior teams playing Buroinjin, a traditional running and passing game.

Tickets for the fixture are available from Ticketek.
