Star winger Portia Woodman has been rewarded for a stellar season after being named women's player of the year at the World Rugby awards.
The Kaikohe flyer was an integral part of the Black Ferns Women's World Cup victory in Ireland, beating England 41-32 in the final.
Woodman played every minute of the World Cup where she scored 13 tries and was the focal point of a polished Black Ferns backline, finishing the tournament the top try and point scorer.
In typical fashion she gave her Black Ferns teammates the credit for her top class 2017.
"Honestly they make me look good," Woodman said.
