Domestic career
Provincial Rugby
Jamie Mackintosh played his first match for Southland in 2004 when he came off the bench against Waikato. He played in eight games in the NPC that year, starting in two of them. In 2006, Mackintosh started in all eight of the games he played. For the 2007 season, he went two better, and played in ten matches, starting in all of them, and enjoyed wins over Otago, Bay of Plenty and Manawatu. Mackintosh was a long-standing fixture on the Southland Stags up until his surprising omission from the 2016 roster. Having earned 123 caps for his provincial side one of his peak accomplishments was helping bring the Ranfurly Shield back to Southland in 2009, breaking a drought of 50 years in doing so. Mackintosh was also a member of the 2011 team that re-captured the shield for a second time in the club's modern history.
Super Rugby
In 2007, Mackintosh was called into the Highlanders squad, where he played in three matches, all of them off the bench. In 2008, Mackintosh played in eleven Highlanders matches. He also scored two tries and received two yellow cards. He was also the skipper from 2010–11.
He joined the Chiefs for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[1]
