Brumbies skipper Allan Alaalatoa is set to be out of action for up to six weeks with a broken arm.

Alaalatoa was forced out of Sunday's match against the Waratahs and was sporting a sling by full-time.

Brumbies coach Dan McKellar was all but certain after the game that his captain had broken the limb.

"He just needs to get an X-ray but if you were a betting man that would be the way you’d lean," he said.


On Monday night, the Brumbies confirmed the news for Alaalatoa, an injury that requires 4-6 weeks out of rugby.

With the suspension of the Super Rugby season announced over the weekend, it is unclear how many matches the tighthead prop would miss.
