A failed code switch has lead Portia Woodman-Wickliffe back to rugby in a World Cup year. After retiring from international rugby last year, the World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist is ready to make a return with the Black Ferns. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

The three-time Olympic sevens medalist is emerging from international retirement to have a crack at adding to her two Rugby World Cup gold medals later this year. Woodman-Wickliffe had a move to the NRL-W blocked this year due to her ambassadorial role for union's premier event. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.

Today's guest is one of the best rugby players in the world.  Portia Woodman-Wickliffe holds the record for most tries scored at Rugby World Cups - men and women. She has won two Rugby World Cups in the 15-a-side team. She's an Olympic Gold medalist for the Sevens. In 2022, she scored her 200th try on the World Sevens Series, a history-making feat. And that's just scratching the surface - what about the fact she was a boss Netballer too??? A great chat with a wonderfully inspirational woman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Black Ferns won a thrilling Rugby World Cup final on Saturday night, it came amid a remarkable performance from tournament favourites England. The Red Roses were reduced to 14-players less than a quarter of the way into the match when Lydia Thompson clashed heads with Portia Woodman in a tackle. Woodman was knocked unconcious in the collision, and says she now can't remember the final. While it was the right refereeing decision, it left England with a huge mountain to climb. Telegraph newspaper rugby journalist Fiona Tomas, and RNZ rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Māni Dunlop.  

After the final, he wrote a brilliant piece for Newsroom titled “The Black Ferns are the answer to every NZ rugby question”. Also as editor of NZ Rugby World - he was the first editor to run a woman on the front cover of a rugby magazine as a player, not a model, such as when they featured Portia Woodman on the cover last year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last weekend's semi-final was one of the most exhilarating, desperate, thrilling rugby games I've ever seen in my life. It felt chaotic. Totally unpredictable. The French dominated at the breakdown. The New Zealanders played at such a tempo, lunging and scrambling and hurling the ball wide. God, it was exciting. After 80 minutes, you'd have to say agree, no team deserved to lose that game. But the best teams will take every flicker of good fortune they can muster. And so tonight, the Black Ferns contest the final. I've told you before about my past experience with the women's sevens rugby team. It was eight years ago in Brazil, when the team had just been formed to compete on the World tour. I flew down and spent a week living and working with them in Rio de Janiero. Because rugby sevens was to become an Olympic sport, and because there was now a Women's World's Series to contest, New Zealand Rugby had started investing in women's rugby in a way they hadn't before. Still, back then, few Kiwi rugby fans would have known the players' names. I was only there for a week, but by living, and eating, playing cards and even exercising with the team, I had a really special insight into a group of young women would be soon be stars. They were captained by a workhorse called Sarah Hirini. They had a star winger called Portia Woodman and a young smartass cracking jokes in the locker room and putting gangsta' rap on the stereo, called Ruby Tui. They were young. They were very fresh. But already you could sense extraordinary potential. That team won Sevens World Champs after Sevens World Champs, but when it came to the Rio Olympics, they had to settle for silver. It was a tough experience. I was there at the Olympic Park that night in 2016, watching the match slip from their hands. They didn't deserve to win but nonetheless it was very emotional. But you might also remember how it ended for the Sevens Sisters. Five years later at the Tokyo Olympics, they turned it around. Five years of graft, separation from their families, and Covid-19 disruption, and they did it. They were the darlings of New Zealand's Olympic team, and they returned home with gold medals swinging from their necks. Sarah Hirini, Portia Woodman, and Ruby Tui will all start tonight. This game is different, I get that. England are the dominant team in World rugby. Their forwards are incredible. And most obviously, this is a game of fifteens, not rugby sevens. But finals are decided by moments. And perhaps even more valuable than form, is a team's capacity to respond to pressure. This will be the biggest crowd to ever watch a women's rugby match. And pressure does funny things. No matter what happens, nice to know that within that amazing Black Ferns squad, there are players who've been there and done that. I don't need to state the obvious but I will anyway. Win or lose, the Black Ferns have been a joy to watch throughout this World Cup. Their humanity as individuals makes them far more fun to support than the men. They don't hesitate to show emotion. For their sake, tonight, I really hope it's joy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jared, Kooks, Shaun and Thala are (finally!) all back together to review the weekend's rugby. We start with the URC and the Stormers comeback victory over the Lions in Johannesburg, lead by Manie Libbok in scintillating form. We also discuss the performance of the Lions loose trio and we recruit more members to the Henco van Wyk hype train.  We review the Bulls dominating win over the Sharks at Loftus. While the Bulls saw strong performances from Johan Goosen and David Kriel, it's same old same old for the Sharks. We turn to international rugby and a lackluster win for the All Blacks in Japan and Australia's last gasp winner Scotland with a smart play from Nic White, leading to a Kinghorn v Hastings v Russell debate about the Scottish flyhalf position. We finish off by looking at the women's Rugby World Cup quarterfinals ,Portia Woodman claiming the most tries in Rugby World Cup history and gauge the chances France and Canada could spring upsets against the Black Ferns and the Red Roses.

The Black Ferns will play France in the semifinals of the women's Rugby World Cup after a dominant victory over Wales on Saturday night. A big crowd turned out in Whangarei to watch the team's 55-3 win, which included the 19th and 20th World Cup tries of Portia Woodman's career, making her the record holder in World Cup rugby. Turning her attention to France, Woodman said the team is in better shape than when they lost twice to France at the end of last year. Rugby commentator and author Scotty Stevenson was in Te Tai Tokerau to watch the game on Saturday. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Shaun and Thala let Kooks join the pod after serving his podcast suspension to review the weekend's rugby. This week's First Phase question was about combining different aspects of our favourite rugby players to create a Rugby Frankenstein and the results were terrifying! We reviewed the opening weekend of the Rugby World Cup, which included a brave performance from the Springboks against France, Ruby Tui and Portia Woodman being unfair against Australia and a last gasp win for Wales. We then turned our attention to Week 4 of the URC and South African teams' first losses against overseas opponents. We talk about what the Sharks can learn from the Stormers, the Bulls best backline combination, the Sacha Mngomezulu hype train picking up speed and what Hamish Watson did to make Ruan Venter so mad. We do a roundup of the weekend's Premiership, Top 14 and NPC results and we end with some rants from Kooks about Ben Smith bait tweets and Thala about the competitiveness of the URC.

Portia Woodman has done it all. The Black Ferns star has won two Sevens World Cups, a 15s World Cup, claimed numerous awards and broken multiple records. The veteran speedster isn't planning on slowing down as she and the New Zealand women attempt to defend their 15s world title in Aotearoa, starting with Saturday's clash with Australia at Eden Park. Rugby reporter Joe Porter has more.

The Black Ferns Sevens star Portia Woodman has become the first player to score 200 tries on the women's World Series.

Die Rugby-Frauen aus Neuseeland, die Black Ferns, haben in Belfast zum insgesamt fünften Mal den Weltmeister-Titel geholt. In einem faszinierenden Finale besiegten sie die Titelverteidigerinnen aus England mit 41-32. Es war ein würdiger Abschluss einer insgesamt sehr unterhaltsamen Rugby-Weltmeisterschaft der Frauen in Nordirland und Irland. Mit Neuseeland und England standen sich die beiden besten Teams des Turniers gegenüber und das Finale geriet zum besten Spiel des Turniers. Angeführt von Toka Natua, der Erste-Reihe-Stürmerin, die insgesamt drei Versuche legen konnte, holten die Neuseeländerinnen einen 5-17 Rückstand auf und konnten in der zweiten Halbzeit davonziehen. Mit Portia Woodman hatte Neuseeland die beste Spielerin des Turniers in ihren Reihen. Kapitänin Fiaoo Faamausili holte ihren insgesamt vierten Weltmeistertitel. Frankreich wieder Dritte Im Spiel um Platz 3 wurde den Fans auch eine ganze Menge geboten. Frankreich, im Halbfinale eher wegen ihrer Defensive gerühmt, brannte ein Offensiv-Feuerwerk ab und besiegte die USA mit 31-23. Frankreich verteidigte damit ihren 3. Platz des Jahres 2014.

Neuseeland und England bestreiten das Finale der Womens Rugby World Championship in Dublin und Belfast. Die beiden Teams stellten sich als die besten des Turniers heraus und das zeigten sie auch im Halbfinale. England musste kämpfen. Im Regen von Belfast zeigten die Französinnen ein couragiertes Spiel und forderten den amtierenden Weltmeister auf allen Ebenen. Die USA konnten Neuseeland nur kurz beschäftigen. Zu gut war die Offensive der "Black Ferns", die in Portia Woodman auch DIE Spielerin dieses bisherigen Turniers in ihren Reihen haben. Vivian Bahlmann, 7er-Nationalspielerin, fasst die Spiele zusammen....

Die "Black Ferns", die Frauen-Nationalmannschaft aus Neuseeland, haben das Halbfinale durch einen souveränen Sieg gegen den amtierenden Vize-Weltmeister Kanada erreicht. Hong Kong erzielt seine ersten Punkte bei einer WM, Wales seinen ersten Sieg. Neuseeland hat gestern durch einen klaren und souveränen Sieg gegen Kanada den Einzug ins Halbfinale perfekt gemacht. Von der ersten Sekunde waren die "Black Ferns" das bessere Team und gewannen deutlich gegen einen enttäuschenden Gegner. Aber woran lag das? War es eine Weiterentwicklung der Neuseeländerinnen oder eine Stagnation der Kanadierinnen, die für dieses Ergebnis verantwortlich waren? Vivian Bahlmann, unsere Gruppenpatin der Gruppe A, findet Antworten auf diese Fragen. Sie hat auch das zweite Spiel der Gruppe gesehen, in dem sowohl Wales als auch Hong Kong Premieren bei einer WM feiern durften....

Der zweite Spieltag der Gruppe A der Frauen-Rugby-WM sah ein knappes und ein klares Ergebnis. Vivian Bahlmann, unsere Gruppenpatin für Gruppe A, berichtet von einem Kantersieg der Neuseeländerinnen und einem knapper als erwarteten Sieg der Kanadierinnen gegen Wales. Neuseeland hatte das Spiel gegen WM-Neuling Hong Kong schon nach wenigen Minuten gewonnen. Bereits nach acht Minuten stand es 14-0 für die "Black Ferns", die auch im restlichen Spielverlauf den Damen aus Hong Kong nicht den Hauch einer Chance ließen. Alleine Portia Woodman zeichnete für acht Versuche verantwortlich. Das zwéite Spiel der Gruppe war ungleich spannender. Die Kanadierinnen taten sich unglaublich schwer gegen die starke Defensive aus Wales und gewann am Ende nur ganz knapp mit 15-0. Vivian zweifelt auch, ob diese Leistung gegen Neuseeland reichen wird....
