ACT Brumbies flyer Chance Peni has been rubbed out for six weeks in a cruel blow to the club's Super Rugby finals hopes.

He will be eligible to return on August 11, which means the Brumbies flyer won't suit up to take on the Wellington Hurricanes when their Super Rugby campaigns resume at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.

It is a frustrating blow for Peni, who has been rubbed out for a lifting tackle while playing for Wests in the John I Dent Cup - Canberra's club rugby competition - last Saturday.
