Jonah Lomu and Portia Woodman have wrote their names into New Zealand legend with superb performances at the Rugby World Cup. Lomu was known for his blistering pace and powerful runs, and Portia Woodman's performances in RWC2021 replicated those traits to help New Zealand win the World Cup!

The Portia Woodman of Rugby

All I would say legendary JONAH LOMU IS THE BULLDOZER
On the other hand Woodman is on her own level great player.

“Enforcers?!” What were they enforcing? You folks are getting worse.

I regret not seeing Portia play until her last match. Amazing athelete

Am 44 I saw Jonah Lomu breakout and he put rugby back on the map.
The man mountain with speed and agility.
Woodman is the female version.
Cut from the same special NZ cloth

Lomu was a God, a GOAT and a really nice human being when you met him, possibly the best AB depending on your measures but there are so many others, in different ways. Another favourite winger was Cullen, the Paekak Express, seemingly so slight but so fast, one step, acceleration and gone! Jonah's tries tended to be spectacular but at the end of the day, scores matter.
It may be sacrilege but I tend to prefer watching the Women's Sevens over the Men's, the Women's 15s over the Men's. It just looks like better rugby!
In Women's rugby Portia is a virtual giant, amazing, strength, athleticism, dominance and outright speed. She can impose herself in a ruck, win the ball, take off, brush off tackles and score! She combines the adept robust strength of Richie McCaw, the midfield insight mastery of Dan Carter and the intimidation of a powerful fast winger like the Blyde Glyde or the Stacey Smile.
To me, she is better, more rounded and capable than Jonah. Much harder to nullify than Jonah.

Disgusting behaviour nz

It was sad to see her get knocked out in the final. But both a great in their own right. Both have made their names for themselves.
@naas699 Says:
neither are / were enforcers, what a stupid headline.

Not even close. Stop it.

Only ever saw highlights of Lomu in the UK. Was very young when the 96 WC was on but do remember watching some of the games. I remember watching his funeral and know how iconic he was. Woodman, I watched both Olympic Games and this past World Cup. I mean sure the entire team is the best international team in the world. Tui is the face of the Black Ferns. However today, Woodman is the best player in the World male or female. Not only is an Olympic Champion, she’s completed the international set but the top try scorer in World Cup history too.

2 absolute LEGENDS!! Portia Woodman is the female Jonah Lomu. I do believe if the great man was still with us, he would be saying the same thing. Both players have speed and power. They smash right into the contact area and make you use yer whole body to bring them down. It helps if you have a few of yer teammates to help you tackle both players, but doesn't always mean that you will stop them. It still hurts and he's still missed massively. Watched this video and writing this message with my eyes full of tears. 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤

Portia Woodman is the greatest rugby player of all time no man nor woman is better than her
