Stephen Larkham has rolled out the reinforcements as the Brumbies look to kick start the second half of 2017 against the Lions.
Ben Alexander, Jarrad Butler, Jordan Smiler, Kyle Godwin and Aidan Toua are all back in the starting XV for Friday night's clash.
In the forwards, Alexander starts ahead of Nic Mayhew, Butler replaces Chris Alcock and Smiler slots in ahead of Lolo Fakaosilea.
Godwin will join forces with Tevita Kuridrani, while Toua resumes his role at fullback ahead of Tom Banks.
The Australian Conference leaders recorded their third straight loss in a sub par performance against the Blues so the return of five top line players is a timely one.
But the advantage of resuming after a week's break is offset by the form their opponents are in.
After fumbling their way to a win against the Force, the Lions looked to be back at their very best against the Rebels.
