Before the World Aquatics World Cup Finals, the team did something special that shows why they're great.

Water polo isn't a very popular sport in Australia, so it's often overlooked.

Halligan says, 'We just love what we do.'

The team works hard and supports each other, which is key to their success.

They play a tough sport, but they find joy in the moments they share together.

The Stingers will play against Italy on Wednesday at 6:30 pm AEST.

They might play against Spain later, which would be a tough game.

The team is proud of what they've achieved and wants to inspire others with their success and teamwork.

Tilly Kearns says, 'I think that stuff's hard to manufacture. It's authentic, and it's really us.'

Kearns loves her teammates and says they're the reason she keeps playing.

The team's coach, Bec Rippon, is proud of her players and the way they support each other.

Rippon says, 'We're trying to create a team that really lifts each other, not through just trying to tell each other that they're good, but genuinely supporting each other when it's tough.'

The Stingers are a great example of how teamwork and friendship can lead to success in sports.

They're performing at a high level and are excited to compete in the World Cup Finals.
