Brumbies veteran James Slipper will become the most capped Wallaby this weekend.

The Wallabies have named their side to take on New Zealand at Accor Stadium in Sydney this Saturday as the Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies veteran James Slipper prepares for his 140th test, the most of any Wallaby.

Alongside record breaking Slipper will be six other Brumbies including skipper Allan Alaalatoa joining the milestone-man in the reserves.

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: “The players have reconnected well this week for our last game on home soil this year.” “We’ve acknowledged the poor finish to our time in Argentina and we’re keen to turn that around on what will be a particularly special day for James and his family.” Watch all the action on Stan Sport with every Wallabies Test streaming ad-free, live and on demand with Wallabies at home in 4K UHD. Wallabies matches will also be shown live on the Nine Network.
