Total speculation and trying to read between the lines.
Sounds like NZF are trying to implement a new culture, maybe upping the level of professionalism (which many on this forum have been kind of advocating, although often through neg comments). But are meeting some resistance from the playing group or individuals.
Which would be surprising as all the team are in professional club environments now, so you would expect the same at national level.
But as I have mentioned in previous posts. What works for men professionally might not necessarily work the same for women. Although having a female coach you would think helps with the process of delivery to the team. (in stark contrast to Heraf who was both male and from a foreign culture).
Or maybe the gripe is between NZF and Klimkova about how they go with implementing a cultural changes with-in the team. And some players are backing Klimkova over NZF.
Like I said total speculation.
