The annual event forms part of a newly refreshed Brumbies representative program, with a Brumbies Mens and Womens Country sides being selected after Saturday's fixtures.

Both fixtures will be streamed via Bar TV.

Brumbies deputy ceo and general manager of community rugby Craig Leseberg said the Championships are an exciting day in the ACT and Southern NSW representative rugby calendar.

"Creating a pathway for talent from across our region is of great importance to the ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union and it's great to see four great squads assembled for what should be highly competitive games in Wagga Wagga," Leseberg said.

The Championships kick off the journey towards picking an ACT and Southern NSW Griffins side later this year.

This is the first year that a parallel Brumbies Provincial pathway has been opened to women's teams and Goulburn's solid representation in it reflects the team's dominance in the ACT Women's 10s competition this year.
