There can't be much room left on Portia Woodman's mantel.

The Black Ferns standout was named sportswoman of the year at the Maori Sports Awards in Auckland before being named joint winner of the Albie Pryor Memorial Maori Sportsperson of the Year Award with All Black Rieko Ioane.

Both snared awards at the World Rugby Awards in Monaco last week, and the pair are a good chance to add to their respective collections at the New Zealand Rugby awards on December 14.

Woodman, who won women's player of the year in Monaco, has been nominated for a trio of accolades - try of the year, Black Ferns sevens player of the year and Black Ferns player of the year.

The Kaikohe winger has just completed the opening leg of the women's sevens circuit in Dubai, where the Black Ferns Sevens were upset by the USA in the quarter-finals.

New Zealand were bundled out in the quarter-finals by a 14-12 defeat to the United States 24 hours after beating the same side 45-14 in pool play.

Woodman picked up a try in that fixture as well as a hat trick in New Zealand's 24-0 win over France.

Meanwhile Jason Wynyard was honoured at the awards evening with nine other individual Maori world champions.

The woodchopper won his ninth world championship title in November at the Stihl Timbersports Championships in Lillehammer, Norway.
