    She may be one of New Zealand's greatest-ever wingers, but Portia Woodman-Wickliffe is keen to spice it up in her surprise return to international rugby


    The powerhouse 33-year-old has taken up an eight-month contract with NZR that puts her in the frame to win a third Rugby World Cup title later this year.

    Woodman-Wickliffe has thrived in the 13 jersey for the Aupiki champion Blues and fancies a crack in black with the same number on her back.
