Born in Paarl, Uys was a scrum-half, of a bigger size than most who were then playing in that position.[1]
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.[1] 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.[2]
