SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies prop James Slipper is set to surpass Stephen Moore as the most-capped Australian Super Rugby player this weekend after being named in the starting ACT Brumbies side to face the New South Wales Waratahs.

Saturday's clash in Canberra will be the 34-year-old loosehead's 178th match in the competition since he made his debut for the Queensland Reds off the bench against the Waratahs in 2010.
