The Brumbies have named their Super Rugby team to play the Highlanders in Canberra tonight and for the first time in the team's history, two brothers have been named to start in the front row.

Brothers JP Smith and Ruan Smith will start in the 1 and 3 jerseys respectively against the Highlanders.

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.

The Brumbies will take on the Highlanders 9.40 tonight. The Chiefs meet the Force at 7.35 tonight.
