Uys is primarily a defensive presence, averaging close to five tackles per match across nine appearances and reaching double figures in a single game — numbers that point to consistent, high-volume work at the breakdown and in the channel. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, but he contributes reliably with ball in hand and has shown the capacity to take on a heavier workload when required. Across both Challenge Cup and Currie Cup rugby, his minutes and tackle counts suggest a flanker trusted to do the unglamorous, essential work game after game.
Pierre stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 112kg.
