Rugby Union career
Amateur career
He played for Pontypridd.
Provincial career
McIntosh qualified to play for Scotland by virtue of a Scottish grandfather.[2]
He played for the Scottish Exiles in the Scottish Inter-District Championship.[3]
International career
He was capped by Scotland 'B' to play against Ireland 'B' on 28 December 1991. He was capped again by the 'B' side to play against France 'B' on 2 February 1992.
He was then capped by Scotland 'A' in 1992 and 1993. Although 'A' sides are now deemed 'capture' sides, at the time players could more easily switch nationality when captured - and McIntosh switched nationality to play for Wales when his international career seemed to stall with Scotland.
He was capped by Wales in 1996 and 1997.
Coaching career
McIntosh went on to coach in Wales after his playing career ended. He coached with Pontypridd, Cardiff Blues and Merthyr.
