Teenage sensation Braxton Sorensen-McGee, meanwhile, was named Women's 15s Breakthrough Player of the Year after a debut Women's Rugby World Cup in which she was top scorer with 11 tries - two of which came as the Black Ferns beat France in the bronze final earlier in the day.
Despite being a second-row, De Goede ended RWC 2025 as the third-highest points scorer, slotting 20 conversions and two penalties with the boot. The 26-year-old also scored three tries, including one which came in that barnstorming win against New Zealand in Bristol a week ago.
Only two players scored more points than the Canadian's 61; Renee Holmes who finished the tournament in second place with 64 points, and Sorensen-McGee who was top with 69 points.
"Pretty unreal," the teenager said. "I'm pretty speechless at the moment. No words can really explain how I feel right now but I feel great."
The teenager added seven conversions to her 11 tries to finish Rugby World Cup 2025 as the tournament's top points scorer with 69.
"I actually didn't think that I would be close to that at the beginning of the tournament, but here now I'm grateful for how hard I worked for it," she said.
On being asked what advice she would give to youngsters picking up a rugby ball after watching her light up RWC 2025, Sorensen-McGee said: "Just give it a go. You won't really know how it will go if you don't give it a go. Be confident in yourself and back yourself because other people will back you."
