Jason David O'Halloran (born 28 February 1972 in Lower Hutt, New Zealand) is an All Black cap and rugby union coach. He is assistant coach to the Scotland national team.
He was the head coach of Manawatu's provincial rugby union side in New Zealand. He has previously been the head coach of rugby union Top League side, the Kubota Spears. O'Halloran had played 95 games and scored 35 tries for Wellington between 1993 and 2001 and 54 games with 17 tries for the Hurricanes at Super 12 level from the inaugural 1996 season. He was also often the Wellington and Hurricanes captain. He had international experience as well after he received his first and only All Black cap when he went on for the final few minutes of the international against Italy late in the 2000 season.
O'Halloran was the grandson of Wellington representative player of the 1930s, Con, was a product of the Petone club. He gained national honours at under 17 and under 19 levels but missed out on the Colts.
O'Halloran first represented New Zealand, while he was a pupil at Hutt Valley High School, when selected for the New Zealand Under 17 team in 1988 and 1989. He then vice-captained the Under 19 team in 1991, before making his first appearance for Wellington in 1993. Previous representative honours included North Island Under 16.
Despite being an insulin-dependent diabetic, O'Halloran performed with distinction in 95 games for Wellington between 1993 and 2001 and in 54 games for the Hurricanes between 1996-2001. A perceptive playmaker and astute tactician, O’Halloran was often the unsung hero in a backline glittering with big name stars, with his 35 tries for Wellington and 17 for the Hurricanes all scored from the midfield testament to his ability. This included a hat trick against the Blues in 1998.
