About Pieter Rossouw (rugby player)

  • Pieter Willem Gabriel Rossouw (born 3 December 1971 in Swellendam in the Western Cape Province) is a former South African rugby player and current coach.
  • Rossouw played wing for Western Province in the Currie Cup and the Stormers in the Super Rugby competition.
  • He played a total of 43 times for the Springboks, making him one of the most capped Springbok wingers after South Africa's readmission to international rugby.
  • He was also one of South Africa's most prolific try-scoring wingers, post-isolation, with only Breyton Paulse(26) and Bryan Habana(53) scoring more tries.

  • Rossouw is currently the backline coach of the Bulls in Super rugby and the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup.
  • He was known as "Slaptjips" (Afrikaans for potato chips or french fries), apparently because the sight of his running legs was like potato chips slapping together.
