Hon mention. Cockbain brothers (Oz and Welsh)

Tusi Pisi and George Pisi - are they brothers? Both from the recent Samoa win over Oz

Cant think of a hooker, a lock and a stand-off - any ideas?

Retired 3 or 4 years ago. Is now the manager at Leinster.

Sure there was a pair of props that were brothers.

Theres the Ma'afu brothers, who are the fourth set of brothers to play against each other in tests (umangas, Alantis, and Bachops) although as we all know its only England that play immigrants...still possible the Tuilagis could do it at the world cup

Two Contemponi brothers.

Danny and Jack Lydiate

If you have a social/old crocks/Golden oldies XV, you could have all three Milne brother (Iain, David and Kenny) who played in the front row for Scotland although I must confess I can't remember if David and Iain played on opposite sides of the front row.
Chuck in the Hastings and the Calders when you are at it

They weren't brothers, but for a couple of seasons I played in a team where 5 of the forwards and three of the backs had the first name John. It confused the opposition only slightly more than us!
