Fraser McReight has spent all week thinking about how to win the battle of the "dark arts" as the Reds captain prepares to join one of Queensland rugby's most exclusive clubs.
Saturday's Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final in Hamilton against the Chiefs will be the No.7's 100th for the Reds.
Only two other flankers - former Wallabies captain David Wilson and tough-as-nails Test toiler David Croft - have achieved the feat for the Reds.
The milestone game shapes as one of the most defining for McReight, still just 27, and his men as they aim to end a run of four-straight quarter-final exits before coach Les Kiss departs for the Wallabies top job.
"Just to get one game, seven or eight years ago, was special ... and what better week to have it than a quarter-final," McReight said.
