Barry “Fairy” Heatlie (25 April 1872 – 19 August 1951) was a rugby union player, representing both South Africa and Argentina. He was the fifth captain of the South African rugby union team and is attributed as the man who gave the Springboks their famous green jersey.
His contributions to the early development of South African rugby were recognised in 2009 with his induction into the IRB Hall of Fame.
