Best Song Eva: Portia Woodman-Wickliffe

From Sunday Morning, 9:40 am on 4 May 2025

After stepping out of international retirement, Black Ferns legend Portia Woodman-Wickliffe was this week announced as part of the squad for the upcoming Pacific Four Series. The series, which kicks off this weekend, is a four-way tournament featuring New Zealand, Australia, United States and defending champions, Canada. 

The series also leads into the World Cup in August, and 33-year-old Woodman-Wickliffe has set her sights firmly on a third campaign. She joins Jim to talk about what lured her out of retirement, and she also chooses her Best Song Eva.

Every year, Kiwi households are responsible for at least 115 kilograms of good food going to waste. Not only does this cost up to $1,520 per household each year, meaning nationally we are throwing $3.1 billion worth of food in the bin, it is a huge environmental concern and a major source of avoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
 

On a mission to help Kiwis understand the real weight of their food waste, HelloFresh has partnered with New Zealand’s largest food rescue organisation, KiwiHarvest, to shine a spotlight on this issue which is impacting the environment and hip pockets.
HelloFresh and KiwiHarvest will load up a rugby scrum machine with 115 kilograms of rescued food waste and are challenging Rugby World Champion Portia Woodman-Wickliffe to push it.
