About Fabian Holland
Fabian Holland is a 204cm Dutchman who moved to New Zealand as a teenager specifically to become an All Black, which is a more unusual sentence than it sounds.
He was born in the Netherlands and relocated to Otago at 16 to pursue a professional rugby career in a country that does not lack for locks. Serving the residency period and then breaking into the second row of the country with the deepest stocks in that position is not a normal outcome.
He is a genuine lineout presence at that height and has been notable for the volume of work he gets through — high tackle counts for a young lock, and a willingness to do the parts of second-row play that do not appear on a highlight reel.
He came through the Highlanders, where he has been a regular since his early twenties.
He was born in 2002. New Zealand’s second row is the most open it has been in fifteen years and he arrived at exactly the right moment.
