Silver Fern veteran Casey Kopua was the world champion star until her three-year-old daughter Maia stole the show. The Coast radio host was in Jamaica in 2003 when the Silver Ferns last won the World Cup crown. Speaking about coach Noeline Taurua's role in the win, Oliver-Kerby called her: "Masterful." "She has been the game-changer for the Silver Ferns," she said. "Thank you for the amazing time of my life Silver Ferns."
