Most-Capped Wallaby James Slipper Retires After Final Test Against All Blacks
James Slipper, Australia's most-capped rugby player, played his 151st and final test in a loss to the All Blacks, marking the end of a distinguished international career. Despite the defeat, Slipper received heartfelt tributes from teammates and fans, with captain Harry Wilson emphasizing the team's motivation to send him off with a proud performance. The Wallabies faced a tough challenge, having lost ten consecutive games to New Zealand, but remained hopeful of a strong showing and potentially keeping their Rugby Championship hopes alive. Slipper's retirement places him among rugby elites, alongside players like Alun Wyn Jones and Sam Whitelock, and he was honored for his dedication and record-breaking appearances. The team made key lineup changes for the farewell match, with coach Joe Schmidt aiming to deliver a performance worthy of the strong home support at Perth Stadium. Despite the Bledisloe Cup being secured by the All Blacks for the 23rd consecutive year, the Wallabies remain determined to end their losing streak and honor Slipper's legacy.
