[edit] Career
Baxter made his Wallaby debut against the All Blacks during the 2003 Bledisloe Cup. He recently earned his 50th test cap against Canada during the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He has become only the second Australian prop to reach the milestone along with former NSW Waratahs coach Ewen McKenzie. He is currently the most capped Wallaby prop. Baxter has been named in the current Tri Nations squad and he is the first choice tighthead prop for the Wallabies. Baxter scored his first Super Rugby try on his 100th appearance for the NSW Waratahs.
