Former Silver Fern Margaret Foster's hopeful Dame Noeline Taurua can rediscover her mojo in a new chapter for the national side. 

Newstalk ZB understands Taurua will be re-appointed as coach this afternoon after Netball New Zealand opened up the position for applications. 

The Silver Ferns won the 2019 World Cup under Taurua but failed to make the podium during last year's defence. 

Foster told Mike Hosking that Taurua is probably heads and shoulders above everyone else who applied, as long as she comes back with a new idea of what she wants to achieve. 

She doesn’t think Taurua would’ve returned if she knew she didn’t have the energy or passion to be able to make a real difference.
