Fri, 01 Aug, 2008 - 01:00

New Zealand-born Holland played in two Heineken Cup finals (2000 and 2002), and won 102 Munster caps, holding down the first centre position while also filling in at out half on occasion.

He has also worked as player/coach at AIL level with his adopted east Cork club, Midleton, and was hotly-tipped to take on a senior coaching role with Munster for the coming season.
