Joe Tomane has played his last game for the Brumbies after scans revealed he had broken a leg during a club match.
The 26-year-old Wallabies wing was playing his first competitive game since coming back from a knee injury sustained in April but fractured the tibia bone in the same leg on Saturday while playing for feeder club Uni-Norths.
The Brumbies had hoped Tomane, who is off to France to play for Montpellier after the Super Rugby season wraps up, could slot back into the side for their final regular season game against Western Force on Saturday, which could decide their place in the play-offs.
However, Tomane will sidelined for at least eight weeks.
"I've played my last game in @BrumbiesRugby colours. Scans showed I have two fractures in my tibia. Absolutely shattered," Tomane said on Twitter.
Tomane finishes his five seasons with the Brumbies with 25 tries from 68 matches.
The Brumbies are vying with the Waratahs to finish top of the Australian Conference and win an automatic berth into the play-offs.
The Waratahs, who are level on points with the Brumbies but behind them due to their inferior win-loss ratio, travel to Eden Park on Friday to take on the Blues, who thrashed the Brumbies last week.
