Never has it been clearer that Fiji do things differently games
It can’t have been more than 90 minutes after defeat to England was confirmed when the sound of a Pacific Island beat and stomping feet bounced around the bowels of the Stade Velodrome, Simon Raiwalui’s beaten side making their Rugby World Cup exit with a boombox, and their heads, held high games
There was disappointment there, of course, perhaps most prominently on the face of the captain Waisea Nayacalevu, frustrated not just about the opportunities missed both against England and earlier in the tournament, but also perceived mistreatment by the officials games
For coach Raiwalui, though, the overriding emotion was pride games
“The joy is there,” Raiwalui said games
“We celebrate together, we suffer together games
For 15 weeks these boys have worked hard and we will celebrate that games
We’re hurting now in terms of the result but I couldn’t be prouder of this group in terms of what they’ve put in games
They’ve built something for the next generation of Fijian rugby players games
They’ve laid a foundation games

The belief in the team has always been there games
I’m bursting with pride games
”Raiwalui’s mention of a foundation is key because it feels like finally, after years of governance issues and broken promises, one has been laid games
Few of the Fijian starting line-up for Sunday’s quarter-final represent the Fijian Drua, but the impact of the Super Rugby Pacific franchise could be felt off the bench: scrum half Simione Kuruvoli and back five forward Meli Derenalagi - a potential successor to Nayacalevu as captain with the centre unlikely to make another World Cup – were among those to produce prominent cameos games
The Drua project is still new games
It is only a couple of years since their injection into the southern hemisphere’s premier club competition but already it is paying dividends, the extra cohesion and competition driving Fiji forward games
There are the right people in place to build it, too, not just in Raiwalui – previously high performance general manager at the union – but also former Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans, involved off the field with the Drua games
With Raiwalui confirming that he will not be staying beyond the end of the year, finding the right fit as the next head coach is obviously crucial games

Fiji are likely to gain immediate entry into the 12-team top tier of the new World League, ensuring that their growth can continue across consistent annual fixtures games
Having a large Drua squad based domestically to form the bedrock of the national side should allow for a much easier transition into international campaigns games
While this might have been the last World Cup for stars like Levani Botia and Nayacalevu, it can be said with confidence that new ones will emerge - 20-year-old flanker Motikai Murray is a figure of budding back row brilliance, while rangy runner Joseva Talacolo and prop Emosi Tuqiri are names to monitor games
There is uncertainty over the future of the sevens circuit but it remains a vital proving ground for Fiji, who will be eyeing a third successive gold medal in rugby’s condensed format at the Paris Olympics next summer games
There is a tendency to homogenise the experiences of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, three very different nations clumped together given their relative proximity in the south Pacific games
Fiji’s on-islands population is three times that of Samoa and Tonga combined, and there is thus less reliance on the diaspora to provide players games
Providing opportunities to let the three nations thrive, rather than just survive, is vital, and different approaches will be required to ensure this games
Simon Raiwalui has proved a shrewd appointment as head coach (Getty Images)But certainly there appears a positive plan mapped out that will allow Fiji to fulfil their potential games
“We’ve come a long way in this World Cup,” said Derenalagi games
“Even though we are hurt and we didn’t get the result for today’s game but as a brotherhood that we formed and the bond we formed inside the team games
“That’s what family means to us, even though we are far away from our family games
As a team we try to build a family and a brotherhood and that’s what you can see with our celebrations, even though we lost games
"We reached the quarter-final in 2007 and after 16 years we reached it again games
We will make sure that at the next World Cup, we will climb higher again games

The opening batter became the first captain in this World Cup to score a century, which marked his 31st ODI hundred games
He overtook Australia legend Ricky Ponting in the third spot in the total ODI century list, with only Sachin Tendulkar (49) and Virat Kohli (47) above him games
