He was also at the helm as Australia won the Bedisloe Cup with a 2-1 series win in New Zealand in 1986. In total, Andrew Slack captained Australia 19 times out of his 39 caps for the Wallabies between 1978 and 1987. He scored ten Test tries and played 133 times for his native team of Queensland.

During this time, the Reds took out the Super 10 title in both 1994 and 1995. Appointed as a Wallaby selector in 2000, the following year Andrew Slack was part of the committee who were responsible for hiring Eddie Jones as Wallaby coach.
