RIO DE JANEIRO -- Theres no better finisher in womens rugby sevens than Portia Woodman.Finishing tries is the forte of the woman called `Porsh, and shes scored in all four of her matches at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including the 5-0 match-winner against the United States in the quarterfinals on Sunday to propel New Zealand into the medal rounds.Yet, Woodmans speed wasnt the highlight on day two of the womens competition, but rather the powerful defense she and her teammates produced.With the stakes higher, she simply burned every opponent who came near her.In the morning Pool B decider against France, the first serious test of world champion New Zealand, the 5-foot-7 (1.69-meter) winger flattened forward Elodie Guiglion, then bowled over two defenders in scoring a first-half try, her fifth of the tournament. In the second half, Woodman put Jessy Tremouliere on her back, and set up Kayla McAlister for the last try in the 26-7 win.Against the Americans, Woodman smashed over Lauren Doyle to force a turnover. The quarterfinal was distinguished by defense, especially when New Zealand led by five and played a woman down for two minutes with 3 1/2 minutes to go. They held on.Of her big hits, Woodman said, I was just vibing off all the girls. Were pretty much all connected, and when someones firing, were all firing.She said they trained often to deal with yellow cards, and knew what to do when Tyla Nathan-Wong was sin-binned for a late tackle.All we could think was coach saying, `Youve got two minutes, six players, tough it out, she said. Its tougher to do mentally than physically because you aalways know youre one down, and theres so much more space there.dddddddddddd Its crazy how much the difference one person makes.Her try originated from a scrum, McAlister drew two defenders on the halfway line, and Woodman out-ran them on the outside to the posts.Shes a superwoman, she said of McAlister. She brings in two players and leaves me out there wide, so its an easy job for me. All my tries have come from her.It seems so. They have become one of the great partnerships in rugby. Both were netballers who were among more than 1,100 who answered a `Go4Gold initiative in 2012 to put together a New Zealand womens sevens team for these Olympics. They stood out immediately, developed a seemingly telepathic understanding, and were key to New Zealand winning the first three womens world series, and the Sevens World Cup.McAlister, whose brother Luke was an All Black, was the first world womens sevens player of the year in 2013, and Woodm
