Fan favourite Portia Woodman-Wickliffe will call time on her hugely successful career after "one last dance" at the Paris Olympics later this month.
Already an Olympic gold and silver medallist, the prolific try-scorer also has medals for her part in two Rugby World Cup winning teams, two RWC Sevens titles and gold and bronze medals from Commonwealth Games.
She was recognised by World Rugby as Sevens Player of the Year in 2015, Women's Player of the Year (XVs) in 2017 and in 2020 was named as the top women's sevens player of the past decade.
From a career spanning 12 years at the pinnacle of her sport, we look back at some of the moments that define her stunning career:
