    Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua's offering gentle encouragement to Ameliaranne Ekenasio as the New Zealand captain mulls her future in international netball

    Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua's offering gentle encouragement to Ameliaranne Ekenasio as the New Zealand captain mulls her future in international netball


    The national team won't feature the 34-year-old goal attack this year as she takes time away to mentally and physically refresh.

    Taurua's said she'll welcome the 79-test veteran back when she's ready - a statement that's been greeted by Ekenasio with humour and appreciation.
