It will be a night to remember for the Valetini brothers when the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua take on the Brumbies in Round 11 of Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific tonight, as this will be the first time both brothers will go head to head in Super Rugby.

Rob Valetini, who has been impressive for the Brumbies this season, will start at number 8, while his elder brother, Kemu Valetini, has been named on the bench for the Drua.

The Drua has never beaten the Brumbies since their first year in 2022, where they were thrashed 42-3, however, in 2023, the Drua came close but could not get the victory.

Kemu Valetini joined the Drua on a short-term contract last year in January and has been the driving force in the Drua backline.

The Drua will take on the Brumbies at 9.35 tonight in Canberra.

In other Super Rugby Pacific matches, Moana Pasifika will take on the Highlanders at 2.05pm today, the Crusaders will play the Reds at 4.35pm, and the Chiefs will face the Force at 7.05 tonight.
