Wallabies prop Sekope Kepu grew up in New Zealand dreaming of playing for the All Blacks but now he is about to join one of Australian rugby's most exclusive clubs.

Kepu on Saturday will join World Cup winners George Gregan, Stephen Larkham and David Campese and former team‑mates Stephen Moore, Adam Ashley‑Cooper, Nathan Sharpe, George Smith and Matt Giteau as just the ninth Australian to play 100 tests for the Wallabies.

The 32‑year‑old will be the only prop to achieve the feat when he lines up against the All Blacks in the final Bledisloe Cup outing of 2018 at Japan's Nissan Stadium in Yokohama on Saturday night.

Hoping to play until he's 40, Kepu plans on adding to his highlights reel for years to come.

The Wallabies take on the All Blacks at 6pm this Saturday in their final Bledisloe Cup Test.
