I've done some sleuthing with the help of some Instagram followers!
This is a Match-Worn jersey from a trial played against the Brumbies before the Super season. Most of the in-season jerseys didn't feature the QRU Official sewn-on patch in the bottom corner of the front, however one match against the Highlanders did feature this patch. The difference being a Super 12 patch was embroidered on the sleeve. This is how I've narrowed this down to the pre season match.
It was acquired from a person who used to work for CCC in Queensland, so it makes sense he'd end up with a trial jersey.
