Hunter Paisami is in danger of missing the Queensland Reds' finals campaign after injuring his knee in his side's topsy-turvy 45-24 win over Fijian Drua in Brisbane.
The Reds led 21-5 in Friday night's Super Rugby Pacific match at Suncorp Stadium before the Drua snatched back the lead early in the second half courtesy of a Manasa Mataele hat-trick.
But Queensland's set-piece dominance at the scrum and line-out turned the match, with a four-try burst following Mataele's magic lifting the Reds to victory.
The bonus-point win improved Queensland's regular-season record to 8-6.
But their hopes of landing fourth spot were already extinguished before Friday's match after the Crusaders crushed the ladder-leading Hurricanes 47-14 earlier in the night.
It means the Reds (37 points) are likely to finish sixth, assuming the Brumbies (33 points) beat the last-placed Moana Pasifika in Canberra on Saturday.
