James Slipper Poised for 140th Cap

James Slipper is set to make history as the most-capped Wallaby, achieving his 140th Test cap during the Bledisloe Cup match against New Zealand in Sydney. Slipper, who debuted in 2010, will surpass George Gregan's record and move to sixth on the all-time global list. The Wallabies are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 67-27 loss to Argentina, and coach Joe Schmidt has made significant changes to the lineup, including the return of players like Tom Wright and Hunter Paisami. Schmidt emphasized the importance of the game for Slipper and the team, stating they are eager to improve after their recent performance. The match will also feature several other Brumbies players and is vital for Australia's hopes of reclaiming the Bledisloe Cup, which has been held by New Zealand since 2003.
