Wallaroos prop Eva Karpani has fought back tears, reflecting on the road to 50 Wallaroos Test caps.
Karpani's milestone will come when she is substituted on in Friday's WXV Global Series clash against Scotland at GIO Stadium in Canberra.
The Wallaroos mainstay missed her side's victory in Edinburgh last month with a back injury and returned off the bench in Sydney against the tourists on Saturday.
She iced the Wallaroos' 56-12 thrashing with a rampaging try, dragging three defenders over the line on the siren.
Karpani reflected on her career when the team line-up was announced on Thursday for the final face-off against the Scots.
"I take a lot of pride in it, and so do the girls beside me in this team, and within the wider squad," she said after taking a moment to wipe back tears.
"It's super important to also recognise where we've come from and where we are now. When I first came through the Wallaroos program, we had two Test matches a year, sometimes four."
The 30-year-old also endured the COVID-19 years when games weren't played, but will become the second Wallaroo to join the half-century club, alongside Michaela Leonard.
"Fifty tests in the women's space is an incredible milestone," Wallaroos assistant coach Mike Ruthven said.
"For her to be able to do that in the front row as well, is a credit to her."
Ruthven also spoke glowingly of Emily Chancellor, who is set to play her final game after announcing her retirement earlier in the week.
"It's a happy moment for Em to be able play her last Test in Australia," he said.
"For her to go out on her terms is a real positive for her after an incredibly good career."
Desiree Miller, who scored two tries in a sharp display at fullback in Sydney, will miss Friday's Test to manage calf soreness.
Faitala Moleka will move from the centres to cover Miller, while Cecilia Smith will wear the No.12 and Ella Ryan is added to the bench.
Australia snapped a six-game losing streak with their Edinburgh win against Scotland, who are yet to beat the Wallaroos.
