Also Portia said, out of all the games she has ever played, her
favourite game was when they beat australia, only because they beat
australia in their own country. Originally from Northland, Woodman
moved to Auckland with her family in 1997 when her Dad, an
All Black, completed his teaching degree. But she has learnt a thing
or two off him, judging by her sidestep which was a tournament
highlight.
