(Reuters) - James Slipper is in line to equal Australia’s record for the most test caps after being picked on Thursday to play against Argentina in their Rugby Championship clash in Santa Fe on Saturday.

The veteran prop was named among the replacements for the match, giving him the opportunity for a 139th cap to draw level with former captain and scrumhalf George Gregan.
