Olivia Higgins, a true Aussie battler, faced a setback less than a fortnight ago when she dislocated her wrist, but she's bounced back quicker than you can say "shrimp on the barbie" to take her place in the Pacific Cup final for the Jillaroos.
The seasoned NRLW champion, known for her grit and determination, will be lacing up her boots to take on New Zealand in what promises to be a fierce showdown.
Higgins, claiming to be a "quick healer" like a true legend of the game, is set to bring her A-game to the final after years of waiting for her moment in the spotlight.
With first-choice hooker Quincy Dodd sidelined with a quad strain, Higgins' return couldn't have come at a better time for the Aussie team.
The 32-year-old suffered the injury during a bone-crunching tackle in the intense match against the Kiwi Ferns, but she's ready to shake it off and show the world what she's made of.
Describing the moment she knew something was wrong, Higgins said, "I got my hand wedged in there and felt it pop out.
It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before, mate."
Now, with her eyes on the prize and the support of her teammates behind her, Higgins is determined to leave it all out on the field on Sunday.
In the words of the great Rugby League warriors of the past, she's ready to give it her all and leave everything on the field in pursuit of victory.
