There will be a pocket of fans at Suncorp Stadium rocking the half-and-half Queensland Reds and ACT Brumbies on Saturday as the Pritchards look for bragging rights.

The talented pair will go head-to-head after their initial meeting in Canberra ended with younger brother Treyvon on top on his debut.

Oldest brother Kadin will be eager to square the ledger following the after-the-siren defeat in March, conceding two late tries for the defeat.

"Any chance to go up against the little bro is an experience so keen to rip in this week," he told reporters.

"[The family] will go for whoever's winning and whoever's on the field at the time and got the ball but they actually do have the split jerseys.

"I think they'll be going for Brumbies, and if Reds are up, same."

The joy of Super Round last week saw the brothers catch up in Christchurch before their respective matches on the Saturday.

"We reflected on our journey a bit from little kids in the backyard just mucking around the footy to now, it's a pretty surreal moment for both of us," the centre said.

"We're still pinching ourselves that we're actually doing it here."

The Brumbies enter the match desperate for victory after back-to-back losses.

It leaves their hopes of a home final hanging by a thread, eight points before the third-place Blues and a further three from the top of the ladder.

"This week has been a reset and we want to go back to basics and doing that right like we were doing in those first few rounds and hopefully that can kick-start our run into the finals," Pritchard added.

The Brumbies have won the last three games against the Reds away from home, looking to avoid a clean sweep against the Queensland side for the first time since 2021.
