The 5 Skofic brothers who played for Slovenia
The most siblings to play in a rugby union international match is 5 and was achieved by Archie, Jack, Frank, George and Max Skofic (all Slovenia) playing for Slovenia against Bulgaria in the European Nations Cup Division Two match at Park Siska, Ljubljana, Slovenia on 12 April 2014. Archie, George and Frank Skofic started the game and played the full 80 minutes. Max Skofic entered after 25 minutes and scored 3 tries, while Jack Skofic entered after 77 minutes. All five brothers finished the game on the winning side as Slovenia defeated Bulgaria 43-17. George Skofic also scored a try while Frank Skofic kicked one conversion.
That's one quarter of a team right there, maybe we could create a multinational team of internationals comprised of just three families? Who will accept the challenge?!

I’d have expected Scotland to win this easily (given that we always seem to have at least one set of brothers playing - 2 right now) but it seems rugby is a bit of an inbred sport everywhere!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Sexually transmitted diseases, deforestation, irreversibly progressive depletion of the global gene pool. It all adds up to oblivion, pal. Governments will fall, anarchies will reign. It's a brave new world.

Does NZ Emerging Players XV count? If so, add Glynn "pinecone" Meads as a Lock, No8 or Flanker along with his dad and Uncle.

Dunno about that, but David Milne could go on the bench

Actually it's going back but Dave and Alex Valentine were capped flankers
David Donald Valentine (12 September 1926 – 14 August 1976)[1] was a Scottish representative rugby union and World Cup winning rugby league footballer, a dual-code rugby international who played in the 1940s and 1950s,[2] and coached in the 1960s.

His younger brother Alec Valentine also played for Scotland,

The Calder brother would fit nicely into the backrow at 6 and 7
