Super Rugby AU's defending champion Brumbies have vowed to play their part as the code begins a new era tomorrow.
The most successful Australian outfit in recent history validated their status with a composed win in last season's domestic decider against the improved Queensland Reds.
Wallabies prop Scott Sio will miss the tournament opener with a back complaint but they're otherwise brimming with Test experience.
Nic White and Noah Lolesio will play in the halves while James Slipper, Folau Fainga'a and skipper Allan Alaalatoa form an all-Test front row. Centre Irae Simone is also back from injury.
Super Rugby Australia kicks off tomorrow with the Waratahs taking on the Reds in the opening match at 8.45pm and the Western Force will face the Brumbies at 10.55pm.
