Both play in the forwards with Bosenavulagi as a prop and Tuinakauvadra in the back row.

Bosenavulagi made her Super W debut for Brumbies this year and Tuinakauvadra first ran out for Rebels in the competition this last year.

Tuinakauvadra was part of the Brumbies squad that played the Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua in Nadi last month.
