Stubborn streak that earned Holland 200 caps

Billy Holland will make his 200th appearance for Munster when he lines out against Connacht in Saturday’s crucial Guinness PRO14 game at the Galway Sportsground.

His first cap came in 2007 and in the intervening years the 33-year-old has gained an enviable reputation as an ultra reliable and committed player, equally at home in the second and third rows of the scrum at the highest level of the game.
