Dame Noeline Taurua gives her first interview since the saga began

Dame Noeline Taurua has broken her silence, following her suspension and reinstatement as Silver Ferns coach.

The 57-year-old and her coaching team were stood down in September after player concerns emerged from a Sydney training camp.

Interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie is leading the team on next week’s Northern Tour.

Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking in her first interview since the saga, Taurua says the suspension was horrific, and she feels partly vindicated, but not fully back in the job.

She says her happy place is on court, training with the players, so there's still a bit to go until she's really back.

It’s Friday once more, but Mike Hosking’s panel for Wrapping the Week looks a little different. 

Tim Wilson is off on holiday, so a special guest was brought in to replace him – Sir John Key.  

It took a while for Kate to guess the "rando" calling in, but once she did they got stuck in discussing clothing, wine, and whether or not Sir John can join Kate’s pickleball league.
