Wallabies' Slipper to hang up his boots

October 02, 2025

SYDNEY: Australia's most capped player James Slipper announced his international retirement yesterday, with the Wallabies' Test against the All Blacks this weekend to be his last.

The 36-year-old became just the third man to play 150 Tests during the 33-24 loss to New Zealand on Saturday, joining Alun Wyn Jones of Wales and New Zealand’s Sam Whitelock.

He will bow out as the most capped Test prop of all-time, 14 clear of Ireland’s Cian Healy.

"Representing the Wallabies has been the single proudest achievement of my rugby career and a privilege I have never taken for granted," said Slipper, who captained Australia 15 times.
