Munster's Billy Holland is keeping it in the family

Billy Holland’s recent elevation to the captaincy of the Munster rugby team ticks another box for the famous Cork rugby family.

His grandfather, Redmond Holland, captained Highfield to their first Munster Junior Cup triumph in 1937 and later became a Munster selector.

Billy’s father Jerry earned three Irish caps and served as just about everything with Munster in the amateur era and as the game turned professional.
