Clark Laidlaw: Hurricanes Head Coach on Jason Holland's return to the coaching team - Weekend Sport with Jason Pine

Head coach Clark Laidlaw anticipates a seamless return to the Hurricanes for Jason Holland. 

The 53-year-old, who led the team for four of his eight years with the Canes' prior to his role with the All Blacks, is back as an assistant for the 20-26 Super Rugby Pacific season. 

Although it's a demotion since Holland was last with the club, Laidlaw believes pride won't be an issue with him or the other assistant coaches. 

He told Piney Holland was excited and passionate about coming in to assist both him and Cooper, another assistant coach, with their roles. 

“His passion for making players better and picking apart defences is obvious, so I don’t see any problems or issues with that.”  

“We genuinely have loved having him in already this week.”
