Barry Francis Ninnes (born 23 March 1948) is an English former rugby union international.
Ninnes, known as "Basil", was born and raised in St Ives, Cornwall.[1]
A lock, Ninnes gained his only England cap against Wales at Cardiff in the 1971 Five Nations. He was a stalwart of Coventry R.F.C., playing over 300 games for the club, while making 35 county appearances with Warwickshire. A back injury brought an end to his career in 1980 and he returned to his original club St Ives RFC as a coach.[2][3]
