    Coach Allan Bunting believes the mere presence of Portia Woodman-Wickliffe will inspire the Black Ferns to greater heights in a Rugby World Cup year

    Coach Allan Bunting believes the mere presence of Portia Woodman-Wickliffe will inspire the Black Ferns to greater heights in a Rugby World Cup year


    The two-time World Cup winner and double Olympic gold medallist has overturned a retirement decision to be available for this year's global tournament in England.

    Bunting says Woodman-Wickliffe is a contender to play centre or wing and being in camp will benefit younger players immensely.
