Kadin has become one of the breakout stars of this year's competition at outside centre for the Brumbies, while brother Treyvon is in line for his debut off the bench.
Siblings going head-to-head has become relatively commonplace within Australian Rugby.
The Fainga'a brothers faced off in 2014, with younger brother Colby trying to will the Melbourne Rebels home against Anthony and Sai'a at the Reds.
John Eales Medalist Rob Valetini has had his fair share of run-ins with his brother, Kemu, since the introduction of the Fijian Drua.
Even the Brumbies-Reds rivalry has seen brothers face off, with Hudson and Lawson Creighton on opposite sides of the field.
But the prospect of 18-year-old Treyvon making his debut against his older brother Kadin makes it even more special.
"We were chatting with mum and dad about what if we’re on opposite wings or one is at centre and the other at fullback, it would be just crazy but we were just taking the piss out of each other saying we’d smash each other," the teenager told Rugby.com.au in the pre-season, foreshadowing his debut.
Both brothers have been in a constant friendly battle, briefly getting the chance to play together at school before Kadin moved into a Super Rugby program.
It's something to inspire and connect the duo as they look to follow in the footsteps of famous sets of brothers into a gold jersey.
“We always talked about it growing up, and that's probably the only reason why I'm where I am right now is because of my younger brother pushing me, making me try to become better, and he's always been trying to chase me," Kadin said.
“We've both been pushing each other to be the best that we can, and we're slowly getting to where we want to be, and it's pretty unreal for my family and me, and I hope they'd be pretty proud of both of us.”
"With Kadin being a couple of years older than me, I’ve always naturally been trying to reach where he is, and he's always been trying to stay out of reach so that I can't catch him. I think it's just a bit of back and forth, like me trying to reach him, him trying to stay better than me," Treyvon said.
Reds coach Les Kiss had little hesitation in throwing the teenager onto the big stage after a starring performance for Australia U18s and the Reds' title-winning Next Gen campaign.
“Treyvon is very savvy. He is no one-trick pony,” Kiss said on Wednesday. “We believe it’s the right time to bring him in to play.
“He is a beautifully balanced young player. Very quick, smart and confident. He can kick off both feet, step off both feet, and his speed off the mark is brilliant. He has the one thing you can’t coach and that’s speed.”
While the brothers will take the moment before and after the game to embrace the moment, on the field, it's a different story.
“I think there would be that healthy competition there. Obviously, it's a game, so there's no backing down, and I know he won't be backing down to me, so I definitely won't be backing down to him," Kadin said.
“We'll keep that rivalry going on the field and then off the field, we're just brothers again."
