Facing the Jillaroos at this Rugby League World Cup has been like heading straight into the eye of the storm.
Those who have dared to venture there have emerged either gallant in an ultimately big defeat, like Fetu Samoa, or humbled into merciless submission, like England and Wales.
But the Fiji Bulikula storm chasers stared the beast down in the semi-finals, and rattled them. Not besting them this time, but firing a warning shot that their time is coming.
This will be sold as a Jillaroos' scare or wake-up call, but this was more like much-needed proof of life for the international women's game.

Fiji Bulikula level at half-time but Jillaroos surge away after break
Thanks for your company this afternoon and we hope you enjoyed that stirring Womenâs World Cup semi-final. Join us next week for the final between Australia and New Zealand. What a decider that will be.
Will Australiaâs men get to make it a trans-Tasman doubleheader? Donât go anywhere. The Australia v Samoa semi-final is minutes away.
That was a brilliant display by Fiji in that semi-final. No one gave them much of a hope coming into this Test. Yes, theyâd done a job on Wales and France but the Jillaroos looked imperious, having scored 224 points and only conceded a single try. But the Bulikula made a mockery of that home team dominance, rattling the Australians with monstrous defence and marching out to an eight-point lead in the first half.
