Rugby: Slipper eyes fifth World Cup for Wallabies at home next year

# Rugby: Veteran Australian prop James Slipper eyes a fifth World Cup on home soil next year. He just committed to a 17th Super Rugby season after extending his contract with the Brumbies. His 154 Tests is second only to Welshman Alun Wyn Jones’ 171, but he says his body still feels good and he still enjoys the game. Slipper will be 38 when the World Cup starts in October next year. He came out of retirement in July, and says he’s not shutting the door on his international career.
