Portia Woodman

Portia Woodman, now Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, is a New Zealand rugby union player born in Kawakawa in 1991 who has played both fifteen-a-side and seven-a-side rugby for her country. She was part of the New Zealand women's sevens team that won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and gold medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and she retired from international sevens after the Paris Games. In 2022 she became the first woman to score 200 tries in the Sevens Series, and in 2024 the first to reach 250. In fifteens she became New Zealand's leading women's try scorer, and her 50th try, against Japan at the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, made her the outright highest try scorer in New Zealand rugby history. Her father and uncle were both All Blacks.
