Portia Woodman-Wickliffe is BACK! 🇳🇿🏉⁣
•⁣
The Black Ferns legend has announced she’s stepping out of international retirement with her sights set on a third Rugby World Cup campaign.⁣
•⁣
After calling time on her international career last year, fresh off a second Olympic gold in Paris with the Black Ferns Sevens, Portia’s competitive fire was reignited during Aupiki. ⁣
•⁣
She shared that week by week, the decision became clearer — driven not only by her love for the game, but by the desire to make her whānau proud one more time on the world stage.⁣
•⁣
With a resume that includes two Rugby World Cups (2017, 2022), two Rugby World Cup Sevens titles (2013, 2018), Olympic and Commonwealth golds, and the all-time try-scoring record at the Rugby World Cup — Portia’s return is a massive boost to the squad in a crucial year.⁣
•⁣
She’s been crowned World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year (2015), XVs Player of the Year (2017), and was named Women’s Sevens Player of the Decade in 2020 — but her biggest contribution might be the inspiration she brings to the next generation.⁣
•⁣
Let’s go, Portia 🖤🏉 #thegist⁣
