Jason Holland rules out Munster return — for now
As attack and backs coach of the Wellington-based outfit, Holland, 44, helped the Hurricanes win their first Super Rugby title last summer, harnessing an all-star backline spearheaded by World Rugby player of the year Beauden Barrett.
It is a highlight on a coaching resumé that would alert clubs across Europe and particularly in Ireland, where he one day wishes to coach. Yet the man who made Midleton, Co. Cork, his home for more than a decade as he made 102 appearances for Munster between 1999 and 2008 and then moved into management has no interest in succeeding Rassie Erasmus, who looks set to return to South Africa just one season into his three-year contract as director of rugby and take defence coach Jacques Nienaber with him.
