The Drua entered Saturday night's match at GIO Stadium having won just one of their past 33 matches on the road.
But they put that horrible record to the side, opening up a 22-7 lead by half-time before holding off a fast-finishing Brumbies outfit.
Drua players celebrated wildly when they stopped the Brumbies' after-the-siren efforts to win the game, with the emotional toll of Cyclone Vaianu still playing on their minds.
"The boys showed a lot of ticker and a lot of heart," Drua captain Temo Mayanavanua told Stan.
"These boys decided to come even though Cyclone Vaianu was affecting the country.
"Even throughout the cyclone, people were huddling in their homes.
"Some of the boys had mango trees falling on their roofs, but they decided to show up to training and put in the hard work.
"We wanted to create something special. We talked about creating history through the week."
Brumbies players looked shellshocked as they attempted to digest the loss.
In his first match since tearing his ACL while playing for the Wallabies in South Africa last August, Wright provided two try assists and looked sharp.
But the Drua's determination, power and speed proved too hard to stop.
The Brumbies received mixed news from the TMO across the first 15 minutes of the match, having one try ruled out, one try allowed, and having one of Drua's tries wiped off.
Drua winger Manasa Mataele scored two tries in the first half to help his team to a 15-point lead by the break.
A long and powerful cut-out pass from Wright helped send Ollie Sapsford over in the 44th minute, reducing the margin to eight points.
But the Brumbies blew a golden chance to draw even closer in the 54th minute when Sapsford's pop-up pass to flyhalf Declan Meredith was fumbled with the try line right there.
It proved extremely costly, with Drua scoring a try just a minute later when Simione Kuruvoli latched onto Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula's cross kick to stroll over.
At 30-14 down, the Brumbies needed a slice of luck - and they received it in the 58th minute when Drua fullback Isikelis Rabitu was handed a controversial yellow card when he collided heads with Sapsford.
Sapsford was pushed forward while being tackled, with Rabitu having no time to react before the pair clashed heads.
Despite being knocked out cold in the clash and having to be stretchered off, Rabitu was still handed a yellow card.
Wright produced another assist in the 64th minute to allow Tane Edmed to scramble over on all fours, and the margin was just two points when Corey Toole steamed over in the 70th minute.
But the Drua held firm from that point on, with the win improving their season record to 4-5, while the Brumbies slipped to 5-4.
