Across 10 Currie Cup appearances, Uys has established himself as a reliable workhorse in the Griquas pack, contributing steadily with the ball in hand and holding his own at the breakdown. His tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent output, averaging close to five per game with a single-game peak of ten, pointing to a hooker who prioritises defensive work rate. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, but he finds metres consistently and has shown the capacity to elevate both sides of his game when the match demands it.
