Former Springbok coach and Sharks legend Ian McIntosh's brilliant rugby brain shouldn't overshadow his legacy as a superb man-manager, believes Lions chief Rudolf Straeuli and Bok debutant under him. | Sport24news
Swys de Bruin, one of his proteges at the Sharks, hailed the late 84-year-old's passion for the game and will fondly remember"those wild eyes".
Straeuli was exposed to that virtue firsthand in mid-1994, when he was selected for the Springboks' tour to New Zealand and made a memorable Test debut in Dunedin, being brilliantly on hand to round off Andre Joubert's superb break and score his side's only try in a 14-22 loss. "When I came to the city to start coaching, Mac was a real inspiration. I actively took his template in terms of dealing with players and applied it to my own - that's how amazing he was with people," said Straeuli.
"Where do I start? When I think about Mac, the first thing that comes up is him being a mentor and legend," he told News24.
