FORMER SM Sains Selangor (SMSS) mathematics teacher Ian Gordon made a calculated move to guide the SMSS students in learning the robust physical rugby game back in the 1970s.

The Scotsman, who served as the school’s rugby coach from 1975 to 1978, said it was a satisfying feeling to fulfil a dream and become a catalyst in instilling values in the students through their participation in a sport that requires great understanding and excellent teamwork.
