SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies captain James Slipper has extended his contract with Rugby Australia for another two years in a bid to play in a second British and Irish Lions series in 2025.

If he achieves his goal, the 127-test prop looks set to pass Stephen Moore (129) and George Gregan (139) to move to the top of the list of most capped Australian players.
