In 2017, six players reached the milestone of 100 caps for Australian Super Rugby teams, bringing the total number of Australian players having achieved this feat to 50 since the formation of the competition in 1996. To celebrate the significant contribution made by this exclusive group of long-serving players to Rugby in Australia, the Rugby Union Players’ Association (RUPA) will this year re-ignite the “RUPA Centurions Club”. The Centurions Club was first established by RUPA in the mid-2000s. To qualify, inductees must have made a minimum of 100 appearances for Australian teams in the Super Rugby competition since the tournament’s inception in 1996. All 50 players to reach this milestone have been invited to attend the RUPA Awards Lunch on 13 December 2017. Prior to the start of this year’s Super Rugby season, 44 Australian players had reached a Super Rugby ton. They were joined this year by James Hanson, Mitch Inman, Laurie Weeks and current Wallabies, Nick Phipps,
