Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Caslick is the only Australian-based nomination for this year’s World Rugby Awards.
The Rio Games champion has been nominated for the world women’s sevens player of the year.
New Zealand’s leading 2015-16 world series try-scorer Portia Woodman and England captain Emily Scarratt will also vie for the gong.
Caslick was a stand-out in Australia’s 2016 Olympics campaign which culminated with a 24-17 victory over New Zealand in the final in August.
The 21-year-old was also recently named Australia’s women’s sevens player of the year.
