Wallabies Prop James Slipper Extends Brumbies Contract Nears Super Rugby Record
James Slipper, the veteran Wallabies prop, has extended his contract with the ACT Brumbies through 2026, positioning himself to become the most-capped player in Super Rugby history by surpassing Wyatt Crockett's record of 202 appearances. At 35, Slipper remains highly fit and competitive, having played 195 Super Rugby matches since debuting with the Queensland Reds in 2010, and is also the most capped Australian test player with 143 caps. The Brumbies coach, Stephen Larkham, praised Slipper's professionalism, work ethic, and leadership, highlighting his strong performances this season in set-piece, defense, and carrying. Slipper's ability to play both sides of the front row enhances his prospects for selection in the British & Irish Lions test series scheduled for July and August, where he aims to build on his previous appearances against the Lions. Slipper expressed his commitment to the Brumbies, citing his enjoyment of the club and Canberra as home for his family. The Brumbies are targeting a top-two finish in the Super Rugby standings to secure home advantage in the playoffs.
