Portia Woodman-Wickliffe had already cemented her legendary status in rugby before making more history against Japan.
Portia Woodman-Wickliffe had already cemented her legendary status in rugby before making more history against Japan. So much has been said about the winger, with the former Black Fern Kendra Cocksedge saying she "isn't human" and the New Zealand star Ruby Tui describing her as "out of this world". Yesterday Woodman-Wickliffe became New Zealand's all-time record try-scorer as the side secured their quarter-final place with a big win.
Woodman-Wickliffe moved one ahead of Doug Howlett, who scored 49 tries in 62 Tests, while the Black Ferns wing reached her 50 tries in 30 Tests. She also added to her record number of World Cup tries which now stands at 22.
