The late Jerry Holland
THERE has been widespread sadness in rugby circles with news of the passing of Munster Rugby stalwart Jerry Holland after illness.

The former second-row represented UCC, Cork Constitution and Munster as a player, as well as winning three Ireland caps.
The late Jerry Holland, who was aged 66, also played a pivotal role for Munster Rugby in the transition from amateur to professional rugby
He led Munster to two Interprovincial Championships as Head Coach from 1994 to 1997.
Later, he was at the helm for Munster in the province's first Heineken games and started the province's proud home record in the competition with the province unbeaten at Thomond Park and Musgrave Park under his watch.
He remained heavily involved with the squad from 1997-2000 before his appointment as Munster Team Manager from 2000-2008, helping the province win the Heineken Cup in 2006 and 2008.
