Ian McIntosh (24 September 1938 – 5 April 2023) was a Southern Rhodesian-born Zimbabwean rugby union coach. He served as head coach for the Springboks during 1993 and 1994.

McIntosh grew up near Bulawayo in Matabeleland, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

McIntosh never played for his country (Rhodesian rugby team) as a player, but became acquainted with coaching in the 1970s under the tutelage of the then Welsh Rugby Union coaching director Ray Williams.

When his coaching career ended, McIntosh was a Springbok selector for 13 years and he also served as a mentor for numerous South African national coaches in the senior and junior ranks. He also stayed in touch with the game through his involvement with the South African Rugby Legends Association (SARLA).

In 2013 Ian McIntosh became the first South African and the first Durban North resident to win the IRB’s Vernon Pugh Award for Distinguished Service, recognising his achievement in changing the face of rugby in South Africa.

McIntosh died from cancer on 5 April 2023, at the age of 84. Provided by Wikipedia
