PERTH :Warrior prop James Slipper missed out on the win over the All Blacks he craved in his 151st and final test for Australia but backed his teammates to deliver for fans in the near future.

After 44 bruising minutes of toil at Perth Stadium, the 35-year-old jogged off a test pitch for the last time on Saturday, soaking up a cheers from a sellout crowd in the same city where he made his 2010 debut against England.

On the sidelines at Perth Stadium, Slipper could do little but watch ruefully as Australia bowed out of Rugby Championship contention with a comprehensive 28-14 defeat.

The All Blacks had spoiled Slipper's milestone 150th test with the 33-24 win over Eden Park a week before, which locked away the bilateral Bledisloe Cup for a 23rd year in succession.
