Tomane is still the Brumbies' second highest try scorer, despite having not played since April 24 because of knee injury.

Combined with Henry Speight's absence due to injury and his involvement with the Aussie Sevens, it has allowed James Dargaville and Nigel Ah Wong a chance to establish themselves on the Brumbies' wings.

Andrew Smith has finally returned from a niggling foot injury to play his first game on Friday night since returning from France.

Lausii Taliauli came off the bench to score a try in the Brumbies' comfortable 43-24 victory over the Queensland Reds at Canberra Stadium on Friday.

Brumbies utility back Robbie Coleman played in the Canberra competition on Saturday and he is another option Larkham has up his sleeve for the wing.

The Brumbies are top of the Australian conference with just two games left in the home-and-away season and look finals bound, especially if they win both their remaining games, against the Auckland Blues in Auckland on Friday and then the Western Force at Canberra Stadium the following week.

A fresh and fully fit Tomane could be a valuable weapon for the Brumbies going into the play-offs.

"Joey's there or thereabouts, he trained with the boys this week. He's still a little way off I'd say, we're not going to rush that one," Larkham said.

"We're going to make sure he gets back to full health before we push him out there because our wingers are doing a fantastic job.

"We had Andrew Smith come back this week ... there's a lot of confidence in Andrew.

"James Dargaville was superb [against the Reds] with ball in hand, Nigel Ah Wong again had a really strong game, Lausii Taliauli came on and scored another try.

"There's good depth in the wing position at the moment, these boys are doing a fantastic job."

Larkham said he also would face a "selection headache" over who started at scrumhalf against the Blues.

He opted to start with rookie Joe Powell ahead of Argentina international Tomas Cubelli, who spent the past month on Test duty with the Pumas.

It was Powell's Super Rugby run-on debut after the 22-year-old made his first Wallabies squad a month ago.

Cubelli only arrived back in Canberra on Tuesday, having played in two of Argentina's three Tests against Italy and France.

He came off the bench and made an immediate impact, with his mazy running game causing the Reds headaches around the ruck, scoring a try and setting up another for Christian Lealiifano.

​But Larkham praised both No.9s, saying Powell had coped well with difficult conditions as the Brumbies struggled to find any flow to their game after the month-long international break.

"That will be a selection headache, I thought Joe Powell was superb. That first half was really difficult, greasy conditions and we couldn't get momentum and it certainly wasn't Joey's fault," he said.

"A little bit of dropped ball here and there, we had two really long passages and it was tough for Joey to get through those passages.

"Tomas was good, that's the beauty of Tomas's game ... he's very good around the ruck, but equally for Joe's first Super Rugby [start] that was pretty sharp."

After the disjointed first half against the Reds, the Brumbies clicked into gear in the second and co-captain Christian Lealiifano felt they would improve after the run.

With the Brumbies' Wallabies players and Cubelli returning late from international duties, it meant the squad had only one training session together before the resumption of the Super Rugby campaign.

That will be different this week ahead of the Blues clash, with the New Zealanders posing a far tougher proposition than the Reds.

"We're glad we get a full week now to train better and prepare better for the next game and that's all we can do," Lealiifano said.
