Birth name Nairn Alexander MacEwan Date of birth (1941-12-12 ) 12 December 1941Place of birth Dar-es-Salaam , TanzaniaDate of death 31 May 2018(2018-05-31) (aged 76 )
Nairn Alexander MacEwan (12 December 1941 – 31 May 2018) was a Scottish international rugby player and coach.[1] [2] [1] England in 1972.[2]
Playing career [ edit ]
MacEwan was born in Dar-es-Salaam , modern Tanzania .
Unusually for a top level Scottish rugby player, MacEwan was a Highlander, and Highland based. As Allan Massie says:
There have been fine players too who missed Lions selection: ... Nairn MacEwan, a great mauler whose enthusiasm for the game was so great that he travelled thousands of miles between his home in Inverness and his club Gala .[3]
MacEwan helped Highland RFC to their "years of glory in the Seventies, when guided and inspired by [him], they shot up through the divisions, but they have since fallen away, and are now a run of the mill Second Division outfit."[4]
Bill McLaren notes that Bill Dickinson included MacEwan in "one of the most formidable packs of all time", alongside the Scottish rugby greats like Ian McLauchlan , Sandy Carmichael , Alistair McHarg , Gordon Brown , Peter Brown and Rodger Arneil .[5] England at Twickenham [when? , England coach John Burgess made the notorious comment,
I've seen this Scottish pack rucking. If it's blood on their boots they want, that's what they'll get.[5]
Nairn MacEwan was taken off the field in this game after only two minutes.[5]
Coaching [ edit ]
MacEwan became the second national coach for Scotland in 1977 (a position which was unpaid at the time), succeeding Bill Dickinson , but was unsuccessful over the next three seasons—Scotland only won one game in this period.[1] Jim Telfer .[6]
MacEwan also coached the Italian side Rugby Rovigo .
MacEwan died on 31 May 2018.[7]
