Description

A telling response as speculation swirls around the standing down of Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua ahead of next week's international series against South Africa. 

Netball New Zealand claim they've made the decision due to "issues" within the high-performance environment which remain unresolved. 

When asked by Mike Hosking if the players were boycotting Taurua because she’s pushing too hard, Board Chair Matt Whineray paused, before denying the claim.  

Whineray told Hosking that they have some issues they need to resolve, and they’re hopeful they can, but in the meantime, they need to focus on the series against South Africa. 

Yvette McCausland-Durie has been parachuted in as interim coaching cover.
