Canberra, Australia – James Slipper has cemented his place in rugby history, becoming the most capped Super Rugby player of all time. The veteran prop reached the milestone of 203 appearances on Friday, March 20, 2026, when he took the field for the ACT Brumbies against the Chiefs in Canberra. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Wyatt Crockett, who was present to mark the occasion.
Slipper’s journey to this record is a testament to his longevity and dedication to the sport. He debuted for the Queensland Reds on February 13, 2010, in a closely contested match against the NSW Waratahs, which the Waratahs won 30-28. Many of his former teammates and opponents from that early game have since moved on to other endeavors, highlighting the remarkable span of his career. The prop’s consistent performance and commitment have made him a respected figure in the rugby world, and this Super Rugby record is a fitting tribute to his contributions.
