ANZ Bank has denied pressuring Netball New Zealand over Maria Folau's support for her husband in his runaway bid to raise AUD $3 million from "the quiet Australians" to fund a legal battle against Rugby Australia.
The bank, one of the big four in Australia, sponsors Netball NZ while Maria Folau plays for the Silver Ferns national team, as well as the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
In a statement ANZ said they value their partnership with Netball NZ and any suggestion they have tried to pressure them is absolutely incorrect.
