BIOGRAPHY

Experienced and quick-stepping winger Renee Wickliffe has shown her class and finishing ability for both the Black Ferns and Black Ferns Sevens since 2009, not to mention with Auckland and Counties Manukau (out of the Manurewa club) in that time.

The versatile back has two Women’s Rugby World Cup victories to savour, in 2010 and 2017, and follows in a long and illustrious line of potent Black Ferns finishers. 

Wickliffe tasted RWC Sevens glory in 2013 with the Black Ferns Sevens and appeared in three tournaments for that side in 2017. 

In 2016 she won the Farah Palmer Cup with the Counties Manukau Heat. Her 10 tries for the Heat in 2015 is a record for that union, and her four tries for the Heat against Otago that season has not been bettered in a match. 

Wickliffe can also play at fullback or five-eighth. She was a New Zealand touch rep in 2010.
