Portia Woodman-Wickliffe on RWC heartbreak, why the Black Ferns are so special, and what life after rugby might hold - from hairdressing to midwifery and babies
Manage episode 517347792 series 2975778
She never set out to be the greatest rugby player of all time - she was just a little girl who loved sport.
We’re lucky that girl was Portia Woodman-Wickliffe - a trailblazer for women’s rugby here in Aotearoa and across the world.
At 34, she’s the top try-scorer in New Zealand rugby history, but that’s never been her “why”.
We talk equality in sport, media coverage (or lack of it), and the future of the game - plus Barbies, babies, curly hair and midwifery.
