They'll have the chance to test themselves against Super Rugby players on the weekend, the first of two trials the Brumbies will play this season.
Veteran Brumbies prop Ben Alexander could get the chance to play against his brother Tom, who will run out at lock for the Barbarians.
They'll also take on the NSW Waratahs at Mudgee the following Saturday and then complete their preparation for the upcoming Super Rugby season at the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens on February 11-12.
