When times are tough in the Wallabies' World Cup quarter-final, they'll be able to turn to 300 caps' worth of experience to get them back on track and keep their dream alive.
Boasting three 100-gamers is a scenario no Wallabies team has ever experienced. But when Matt Giteau and Stephen Moore join the 100-Test club in the quarter-final against Scotland, that's exactly what the Wallabies can call on in the clash on Sunday (Monday morning AEDT).
Giteau and Moore will become just the seventh and eighth Australian players to reach the milestone. 
What makes it even more special is that Adam Ashley-Cooper already has 111 caps and attack coach Stephen Larkham played 101 games for the Wallabies in his World Cup-winning career.
It's an unprecedented level of experience in a Wallabies line-up, but Larkham says it's the blend of youthful enthusiasm and old heads that makes this team special as they set their sights on lifting the Webb Ellis Cup.
"There's a number of ways to look at experience. You've got Dean Mumm who hasn't got the same amount of caps but he's certainly played over here. And then you've your experience in terms of Test match caps. I think coming into the tournament we've got a really good balance of age and experience.
"It's not just a team that's ... older and therefore more experienced. I think we've got the right number of experienced guys, the right number of older guys and the right number of younger, enthusiastic guys."
Larkham still remembers the "fat-faced" kid with blond tips in his hair that set world rugby alight and 13 years later he hailed Giteau's Wallabies return as the World Cup stabiliser.
The personal milestones are being pushed aside as the Wallabies focus on keeping their World Cup campaign alive in a do-or-die match at Twickenham.
But the significance of Giteau's century looms as an ARU masterstroke that could deliver World Cup success in the coming weeks.
Giteau got a second lease on his international career after the ARU backflipped on its eligibility protocols earlier this year, making changes so overseas-based players who meet certain criteria are available for Wallabies selection.
The change has been dubbed "Giteau's Law" and the Wallabies are already reaping the rewards of a new selection era.
Giteau and Drew Mitchell were given Test lifelines while Kane Douglas, Dean Mumm, Israel Folau and Bernard Foley are all benefiting from new flexible contract situations.
Larkham played alongside Giteau in his Wallabies debut at Twickenham in 2002 and helped usher him into a championship-winning ACT Brumbies side.
"When [Giteau] came into the Brumbies for the first time he had a little fat face and had his blond-tipped hair, he was straight out of school and looked about 12. He had two different coloured shoes on," Larkham grinned. "I was aware what was going on [with the eligibility changes this year] ... looking at [Giteau and Mitchell], their communication in the back line is certainly giving us a lot of stability. In the forward pack there are good, tough heads [in Mumm and Douglas]. From an attacking and back-line point of view, it's invaluable what Gits and Drew have brought in terms of communication."
Giteau was stranded on 92 Tests four years ago when he was overlooked by then-Wallabies coach Robbie Deans for the World Cup squad.
But his form in France with Toulon prompted an ARU rethink and a rule change that could turn the Wallabies into World Cup contenders.
Moore declared any celebrations would be postponed to ensure the team was focused on beating Scotland and advancing to the World Cup semi-finals.
