Portia Woodman-Wickliffe scored a sensational seven tries as New Zealand thrashed the United States to reclaim the Pacific Four Series title.

In the process the winger became the Black Ferns’ all-time leading try scorer with 45 from 26 Tests, surpassing Vanessa Coutts’ record of 43 in 16.

After Canada’s 45-7 win over Australia in Brisbane on Friday, the Black Ferns had to beat the Eagles by 25 points and secure a four-try bonus point.

They duly scored 13 tries on Saturday to claim a crushing 79-14 success in Albany, Auckland.

Katelyn Vaha’akolo crossed four times on the opposite wing to Woodman-Wickliffe to take her tally to 23 tries in 16 Tests as New Zealand regained the Pacific Four Series crown from 2024 winners Canada.
