australia have frontrow depth despite slippers retirement says robertson

Stepping into the shoes of record-breaking Australian prop James Slipper will be no easy task but replacement Tom Robertson feels there is plenty of depth in the front row for the Wallabies.

The 36-year-old Slipper quit test rugby earlier this month after his 151st appearance for Australia, making him the third most capped international after Alun Wyn Jones of Wales and New Zealand's Sam Whitelock.

He had been a stalwart of the side right up to his retirement, starting at loosehead prop for eight of the Wallabies' first 10 tests of the year.

"He's got 151 tests for his country and almost 200 Super Rugby games. So I think, if you're trying to be something that you're not, I don't think that's the way to go about it.
