James Slipper Breaks Super Rugby Record

It's March 18th, here's your Adelaide news in two minutes.

James Slipper, the veteran prop for the ACT Brumbies, is set to break the super rugby record

for most games played.

The 37-year-old will take the field for his 200-third match on Friday night against the

Chiefs at Canberra Stadium that tops the mark held by former All Blacks player Wyatt

Crocod.

Slipper has already earned 151 caps for the Wallubbies, making him one of the most experienced international

players.

He debuted in Super Rugby back in 2010 with Queensland before joining the Brumbies in 2019.

Slipper says he's surprised by his own staying power in the sport and credits the Brumbies

for keeping him going.

He looks forward to more family time with his two young daughters once he retires.

Brumbies coach Steven Larkham praises Slipper's performance and leadership.

Larkham believes the prop is still enjoying the game and could return for next season.

Slipper has grown to love Canberra, calling it the perfect spot to raise his family.

After eight years with the club, he sees no end to his time there anytime soon.
