Rugby: Australia’s most-capped Test player, James Slipper, to retire

# Rugby: Australian prop James Slipper will retire from international rugby following Saturday’s Rugby Championship finale against New Zealand in Perth. The 36-year-old, the Wallabies’ most experienced player, earned his 150th cap in last week’s 33-24 defeat to the All Blacks in Auckland. He was only the third player to reach this milestone after Wales’ Alun Wyn Jones and New Zealand’s Sam Whitelock. Slipper made his debut in Perth in 2010. He says representing the Wallabies for nearly 16 years has been the single proudest achievement of his career.
