Cape Town - South African-born twins JP Smith and Ruan Smith will anchor the Brumbies scrum in Friday's Super Rugby clash against the Highlanders in Canberra.
This will be the first time in Brumbies history that brothers will start together in the front row, with JP packing down at loosehead prop and Ruan on the other side of the scrum.
Not since George and Tyrone Smith in 2010 have two brothers started together, while Anthony and Saia Faingaa round out the only other sibling combination for the Brumbies, which was last sighted in 2008.
