Pieter de Waal Uys (10 December 1937 — 12 December 2009) was a South African rugby union international.[1]
Born in Paarl, Uys was a scrum-half, of a bigger size than most who were then playing in that position.[2]
Uys earned 12 Test caps for the Springboks throughout the 1960s. Debuting on the 1960–61 tour of Europe, Uys featured in wins against all the home nations during the trip.[2] He represented the Pretoria Police Rugby Club and turned out in provincial rugby for the Bulls, which he captained in the 1970 Currie Cup final loss to Griqualand West.[3]
