History awaits in Canberra this Friday night, as Brumbies star prop, James Slipper, prepares to etch his name even deeper into rugby folklore.
Running out at GIO Stadium, Slipper will earn his 203rd Super Rugby cap and officially become the most-capped player in the competition’s history. It’s a remarkable milestone for the 36-year-old prop, whose career has spanned more than a decade and a half at the elite level, beginning with the Queensland Reds in 2010 and continuing with the Brumbies since 2019.
Already the most-capped Wallaby of all time, Slipper’s longevity, resilience and leadership have made him one of the most respected figures in Australian rugby . Now, he stands alone within Super Rugby history, a testament to consistency, toughness and an unwavering commitment to the game.
This Friday’s clash isn’t just another fixture, it’s a celebration. Fans are encouraged to be part of the moment, with the “Slippers for Slipper” campaign inviting supporters to wear their slippers to the game in tribute to the front-row great.
Moments like this don’t come around often. A record that has stood for years will be broken, and a Brumbies legend will take his place as the most capped to ever do it.
Be there to witness history. Be there to celebrate one of the game’s great servants. And be there to give Slipper the ovation he deserves.
