The 24-year-old winger-turned-fullback crossed after the siren to secure his side a 21-point win in Brisbane, and subsequently made sure they walked away with a bonus point.

The side's 33-12 win against Fijian Drua marks the Brumbies return to their winning ways, and the bonus points sets them up well as they prepare for the second half of the season and trans-Tasman rugby.

A head-high hit to Ed Kennedy in the third minute set the scene for the visitors' first try of the night. Drua's Tuidraki Samusamuvodre was shown a yellow card for the tackle, and the Brumbies capitalised on the 14-man defence.

Quick passes forced an overlap on the left to allow Wright - who was pushed into fullback with Tom Banks and Jesse Mogg out injured - to cross easily and make it 5-0 at Lang Park.

Cam Clark soon made it two tries in two weeks, after the Brumbies again exploited Drua's narrow defence with a cut out pass from Andy Muirhead.

Desperate defence from Drua minutes before half-time prevented the Brumbies from extending their lead heading into the sheds. Phases on the line from Muirhead, Rod Iona and Rory Scott went dangerously close, but a fumble ended the tense moment for Drua to keep the score set at 12-0.

James Slipper was one Brumby holding out for a win after putting in a 51-minute stint to become the 12^th player to reach 150 Super Rugby caps.

"It was special to get the win tonight," he said.

"It was a tough game actually, it was pretty wet. So just happy to get the win.

"It's been a journey hasn't it? A few challenges along the way, but at the end of the day I have really enjoyed my time in the sport.

"And I feel I'm still going well, so I've a couple more years here at the Brumbies and we've got a couple of big games coming up after a bye. We've got the Kiwis and I'm pretty pumped for that."

The Brumbies continued their momentum in the second half, and did not wait long to cause further damage.

Drua fullback Kitione Ratu dropped a penalty kick effort from the visitors inside the 22 to gift the Brumbies a lineout 10 metres from the try line.

Fijian fullback Kitione Ratu dropped a penalty kick effort from the visitors inside the 22 to gift them a lineout 10 metres from the try line. A signature maul allowed Billy Pollard to charge across five minutes into the second half, followed by a conversion, to further the ladder leader's hold on the game to 19 points.

An offload minutes later caught the Brumbies outnumbered on the wing. Wright and Iona proved the last line of defence but could not stop four advancing Drua players as Onisi Ratave crossed to claw back seven points.

It was deja vu for Drua's defence as the Brumbies executed a carbon-copy maul to cross for their fourth try of the night - the only difference being that the man with the ball, and the points next to his name, was Connal McInerney, not Pollard.

The home side spotted a weakness in the Brumbies' short side and drove to the corner, leaving winger Ratave unmarked off the ruck to cross for his second.

The Brumbies were not satisfied with just a win, with the battle at the top of the ladder being a matter of points. Despite the siren buzzing, the visitors pushed for a three-try win and Irae Simone made sure of it.

He won back the ball from the ruck, before Muirhead picked it up and took off. Hudson Creighton broke the line off the next phase, before offloading to a trailing Wright to secure the bonus point.
