Izak van Heerden —
an unsung genius
Ashort, pithy expression in Afrikaans says
it all: “Kyk hoe lyk hy nou!” Suitably
adapted, this little phrase aptly sums up
the prowess of the Pumas – the Argentine
national rugby team – from the whipping boys
they once were to today’s formidable side
which is giving the world’s established teams
such a run for their money, and I like to think it
was a South African who started them on their
w ay.
Let me take you back to my school years at
Durban High a lifetime ago.
Truth be told, I hadn’t given much thought
to the old school since Hashim Amla became
the latest in a long line of DHS old boys to win
national cricket colours.
But floating back out of the mists of time,
after the Pumas’ brave efforts against the
Springboks, came two figures of my era – Mike
Attlee and Izak van Heerden.
Mike was headboy and captain of rugby in
my second or third year and the other (Izak) is a
name older rugby fans will recognise
i m m e d i a t e l y.
Mike, I believe to this day, was headed for
Springbok rugby honours until a family tragedy
caused him to quit rugby in his prime and give
his life to the Lord, while Van Heerden went on
to become a world-renowned rugby coach.
Both, alas, are long gone.
Mike, a fellow boarder, was a truly
outstanding scrumhalf and he and his half-back
partner, flyhalf Ian “Ginger” McKenzie, were
so well thought of they were elevated straight
to the senior Natal team (now known as the
Sharks) immediately after they left school.
I have reported on hundreds of rugby
matches in this province for various
newspapers and I don’t remember too many
scrumhalfs employing the dive-pass.
The nuggety Mike was a past master at this
manoeuvre, and also the reverse pass when he
would completely flummox unsuspecting
opposition teams by flinging out long, back-ofthe-hand
rockets to a flying McKenzie, who
would run on to them and put his back-line
away at top speed. Try time!
Izak’s tactical genius wowed the rugby
world when he coached the Argentinians to
world prominence a few decades ago.
As a teacher and senior rugby coach at
Durban High in my time, he played a big part
in the careers of many a DHS boy including the
nurturing of Mike’s remarkable flair.
He was our housemaster and had rooms at
the end of one of the verandah dormitory
corridors, taught Latin and Afrikaans, and
doled out pocket-money once a week –1
shilling and a tickey for third formers, 2
shillings and a tickey for fourth formers, 3
shillings and a tickey for fifth formers and 4
shillings and a tickey for six formers.
The tickey, as my generation will remember,
was a little silver coin which was replaced by
the 5 cent coin in 1961 and was meant for
DHS boarders as church collection on
S u n d ay s .
You could get a good couple of scoops of
ice cream and a dollop of strawberry syrup in a
tall glass for a tickey in those days and a short
back and sides for sixpence!
Three times a week during rugby season,
Izak would get the rugby-playing boarders out
on the field at the crack of dawn for a training
run.
At the end of the session, Mike would often
ask me to stick around and take a few passes
and for the next 20 minutes or so, he would
position himself and throw reverse and dive

passes to me as I ran in from different angles.
Just as well I had good hands but boy, did my
15-year-old midriff take a pounding from all
those powerful pin-point throws !
Izak, a prisoner of war during World War 2,
was a burly, bespectacled man who always
wore a tweed jacket and a silk bow-tie.
He was a formidable teacher with a witty
manner, a sharp temper and a repertoire of ripe
language which he used freely in both the
classroom and on the rugby field.
For the years I was at school, he always said
grace in Latin at the boarder masters’ table
before presiding over the meal.
That grace I can still remember word for
word – after all it was said several times a day
for the full four years I was at school.
Izak brought to the DHS First XV a flair and
panache unmatched by any other Natal school
of the time.
His brand of rugby was admired far and
wide and led ultimately to his appointment as
chief coach of the Natal provincial side
(Tommy Bedford was of that era, remember
him?) where he pioneered the “tight-loose”
play and where his strategies of the modern
high-speed, high-intensity forward-backs interpassing
game so beloved of the All Blacks are
still in use today.
He was quoted by Kitch Christie, coach of
the 1995 World Cup winning Springboks as
“truly light years ahead of his time”.
As a result, whenever Natal played – win or
lose – full houses were always assured.
Not being a rugby Springbok though meant
Izak was passed over as coach to the national
side because it was wrongly assumed at the
time that good players and good coaches were
one and the same.
An unsung genius at national level in his
homeland, he was pounced upon by the
Argentinian rugby authorities who knew very
well what he was capable of and he went on to
forge a long and happy relationship with that
country, the fruits of which are evident today.
With the progress since made by the
Pumas, he would have been a proud man had
he been alive today.
He returned to teaching and DHS after his
rugby coaching days were over, where one
sunny morning the “guru with the golden
t o u ch ” as he was known, dropped dead in his
office at the age of 63.
A rugby field at the school is named in his
h o n o u r.
It was a privilege to have known both men.
