Attack coach Jason Holland will be stepping down after the northern tour, when his contract ends. 

This is the second high-profile exit under Scott Robertson, following Leon MacDonald's departure after just three test matches last year. 

Former All Black Justin Marshall told Mike Hosking that the departure was a personal decision, not something motivated by back-stage scandals. 

"Jason has his reasons for moving on, and those reasons could be the fact that he's not happy with the workload or he wants to move on to other things."
