The Silver Ferns took third at the Nations Cup and the conversation quickly turned to Dame Noeline Taurua’s future as coach. 

Her original contract expired last October, and she signed a mini-extension to remain with the team until the end of their campaign in England. 

While she still hasn’t committed to her future plans, Taurua insists an announcement is imminent.  

Former Ferns player and coach Yvonne Willering told Mike Hosking that should Taurua retire, we don’t have good coaching stocks from which to replace her. 

She said that she would like to see Taurua stay on for another year and bring in a co-coach to get them used to the structures.
