Brothers President, former Wallaby Captain Tony Shaw, said that he was excited the fixture was being played at Brothers home ground and that the club was planning a day (and night) of festivities to mark the occasion. “We hope that Brothers and Brisbane rugby fans and the local community get behind the day. Come along to see two great teams in action in what will be a very high class match. Also, to help us keep the trophy (won by Easts last year) in Queensland”. Brothers Juniors teams will also feature in matches before the game and at halftime.
