Portia Woodman

Woodman once again topped the season's try scoring table dotting down 24 times. Pace and power are her stock in trade; her incredible standing start speed and ability to flatfoot defence has made her a lethal attacking weapon for New Zealand.

Woodman's knack of shredding defensive lines saw her named World Rugby Women's Sevens Player of the year in 2015. A natural athlete who also excelled as a netballer for the Mystics, she comes from great rugby stock.

Her father Kawhena Woodman and her uncle Fred Woodman were both All Blacks in the early 1980s.
