George Smith re-joins the University of Canberra Brumbies on a short term contract in 2013, filling the final spot on the team's 35-man squad.
The veteran of 128 Brumbies games and 110 Tests will be available for selection until at least July.
One of the greatest loose-forwards to play the game, Smith has been representing Suntory in the Japanese league over the last two seasons, claiming the club's fifth title in late February 2013.
Smith left the University of Canberra Brumbies after 2010 for France where he played with Toulon before moving to Japan to link with Suntory. He enjoyed a similar short-term stint with iconic Parisian outfit, Stade Francais in 2012.
A former Wallabies and Brumbies Captain, Smith is one of seven players to reach 100 games for the Brumbies. He has claimed the Brett Robinson Players Player for the club on eight different occasions, making his the most decorated player the Brumbies have ever kept on their books.
