Hailing from Moree, Heinrich was the younger brother of Wallabies forward Vince Heinrich and attended St Joseph's College in Sydney, captaining the school's 1st XV. He was a flanker, who possessed considerable pace, making him also a capable winger in first-grade for Randwick. Capped ten times for the Wallabies between 1961 and 1963, Heinrich debuted against Fiji at Brisbane's Exhibition Ground and twice toured South Africa with the Wallabies.[2]
From 1965 to 1968, Heinrich played rugby league for the Parramatta Eels, as a lock and second-rower.[3]
