The Brumbies return to GIO in 2025 to face a familiar foe in what shapes as an early-season blockbuster. The Western Force are set to descend upon the nation’s capital for the first all-Australian clash of the SMARTECH Super Rugby Pacific season. With a host of new game day features – headlined by the addition of The Stables – the Round 2 clash promises to be an event for all.
Following their inspired Fijian victory, our Brumbies need you to help them maintain their winning start to the season. With a host of former Brumbies returning with the Force, it’s up to our members and fans to remind them what they are missing out on here in the capital.
With our early season draw meaning plenty of travel, this match provides a rare opportunity for our fans to assert themselves as the best in the competition. If there is ever a weekend to make our Brumbies feel at home – this is the one.
