The All Blacks<\/a> have announced the impending departure of assistant coach Jason Holland at the conclusion of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

The former Hurricanes<\/a> head coach, who has acted as the All Blacks\u2019 set-piece attack and backs coach since 2024, informed Scott Robertson<\/a> following the final Test of the Rugby Championship<\/a> that he will not be seeking a new contract when his current one with New Zealand<\/a> Rugby expires later this year.<\/p>\n

The squad were informed of Holland\u2019s decision today at training, just one day before their flight to Chicago, where they\u2019ll face Ireland<\/a> next weekend to begin their Northern Tour.<\/p>\n

Holland said that his decision was not an easy one to make, but he\u2019s ready to look forward to his next opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0been a huge privilege to coach the All Blacks and represent New\u00a0Zealand\u00a0alongside some great people, both players and management.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019ve been taking the time to reflect on what I want to do with my contract coming up for renewal. Ultimately, this is about what gets me excited about being a coach. I was happy to take a two-year contract, and the time feels right for me to step away from this role and look ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a close group, so this wasn\u2019t an easy decision. I\u2019ve obviously coached with them all in various ways for a long period of time, and we think the team are making shifts in the right direction. There are four Tests left, and I\u2019m absolutely focused on helping this team to win in the northern hemisphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Robertson was disappointed to see Holland go, but was confident the decision would have no impact on New Zealand\u2019s upcoming Tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a massive amount of respect for Jase in our group. Whilst we\u2019re disappointed, he has our support and we respect the decision he\u2019s come to. Not only is Jase a great man, he\u2019s a fantastic coach and has been dedicated to his role in this All Blacks team.<\/p>\n

\u201cJase has made it clear to the team that he\u2019s completely focused on our four remaining Test matches, and I know he\u2019s already got a few new strike plays up his sleeve. A Grand Slam opportunity doesn\u2019t come around too often, and that\u2019s where our attention is for the challenge ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The All Blacks have announced the impending departure of assistant coach Jason Holland at the conclusion of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-96597","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
