Dirk Cloete Jackson (21 April 1885 – 17 September 1976) was a South African rugby union player and cricketer.
Jackson was born on a farm on the outskirts of Cape Town and was educated nearby at Diocesan College.[1] A halfback, he played three of the five international matches on the Springboks' first tour of the British Isles in 1906–07.[2] He was the last survivor of that touring team.[3]
Jackson played first-class cricket for Western Province and Transvaal from 1909 to 1913.[4] He was a member of the Western Province team that won all three matches in the 1908–09 Currie Cup and finished first. He took his best bowling figures during the season: 4 for 36 and 2 for 20 in the innings victory over Eastern Province.[5] He made his highest score of 59 against Orange Free State two years later.[6]
