Kneeling, with arms wrapped around each other, every Fijiana Drua team and staff member sang a Fijian victory hymn as they celebrated more than just a Super W title, but a breaking down of barriers, cultural norms and the elevation of women's rugby in Fiji.
Arriving in Australia three months ago, Drua's players had already claimed a victory before they'd even graced the field.
For many, their journey began on small Fijian islands, where they faced dissension from within the community every time they took to the field in a culture that looks down upon women playing the physical sport. Many had never been to their nation's capital Suva, let alone to another country, but Drua's entry into Super W meant getting the chance to prove to their families and communities the validity of women's rugby.
Drua captain Bitila Tawake was just one of the many players on the team who had to convince their parents to allow them to leave the island nation.
"Yes, it was really hard to convince my dad to play rugby," Tawake said following the Drua's grand final win. "I had to put a pause on school to pursue something I really love, rugby, and something I'm really passionate about is sports.
"It's huge, it's about time to change that barrier and allowing us girls to play at this level. It's really huge. It's opening doors for us as well and really eye opener.
"This huge win is something we can take back home and lots of girls would want to join rugby now and the man will also look up to us and not down on us. So this is a huge change for Fiji as well. "
Hat-trick hero and grand final player of the match Vitalina Naikore, was another special story, with the wing identified as a soccer player on her small island home with no previous rugby experience before she traveled to Suva for the first time and got her opportunity to come to Australia.
"Naikore had never played rugby in her life," Drua coach Senirusi Seruvakula said. "I found her on one of the islands back home.
"She was playing soccer, had never played rugby, and I found her there during one of our scouting tours, so it was the first time for her also to come to the capital city and to be away from home.
"It was hard; it was hard [getting her to Australia]. I had to talk to the family that I will look after when she's coming to the capital and then and I've promised the parents that she will make the World Cup so that they can release her because I believed what she can do on the field and she show it week in week out."
Living and training together in camp, Drua brought the usual Fijian flair to Super W and looked unstoppable leading into the final, making easy work of every opposition, even the Waratahs, but despite all that they had achieved they knew going home without the trophy was not an option.
Pushed to the limits in their toughest test yet, they showed perseverance and resilience to overcome two yellow cards and a Waratahs opposition that refused to quit.
"It was really hard for the girls," Tawake said. "But I kept telling them it's not over, keep pushing, we had to win it because we don't want to go home with nothing, when we go back home we had to come with the win.
"Winning this match is a huge change, it's breaking the bias, so it's really leveled the playing field for girls and boys back at home, so it's opening many doors for women and girls back at home."
