If prop James Slipper had the choice between keeping his historic milestones or steering the Brumbies to a Super Rugby Pacific grand final, he would choose the latter.
After a season in which he has become the most-capped Super Rugby player ever, chalked up 100 appearances for the Canberra-based side and scored a crucial try in the ACT's hoodoo-busting win over the Crusaders in February, Slipper is now looking to achieve something he's yet to do: make a decider with the Brumbies.
"I've always played the game for the team. Team milestones and team achievements come before the individual," he told AAP.
"In my mind, celebrating with your teammates after a win or finals win or whatever is why you play the game."
