Alastair MacGregor Martin played his club rugby for his school's old boys club, the Old Mackayans Renaissance Club, and led them to national cup wins on more than one occasion.
For Chile, he first faced the Pumas in 1977 and by 1979 was captain of his national side. He was also part of the 1980 South American Jaguars side that toured South Africa.

In 2009 he became the president of the Federación de Rugby de Chile (FERUCHI) replacing Carlos Silva Echiburu. This was in response to what was described as a messy institutional period, when the Chilean rugby chiefs looked to one of the countries former rugby greats to lead the new road.[5]
