Rugby career

2011–2013 : Schoolboy rugby

Pieterse was born in Kempton Park and attended King Edward VII School in Johannesburg. In 2011, he was selected to represent the Template:Rut Golden Lions at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week tournament held in Queenstown, where he made two appearances.[2]

He played first team rugby for KES in 2012[3] and 2013,[4] but did not earn any further provincial callups.

2014–2015 : Pumas / Witbank Ferros

Pieterse spent some time training at the Blue Bulls academy,[5] before joining the Nelspruit-based Template:Rut Pumas for the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship. He made seven appearances for the Template:Rut Pumas U19 team in Group B of the competition, scoring seven tries, the most by a Pumas player in the competition.[6] He scored two tries in his first match, a 40–27 victory over Template:Rut SWD U19[7] and a hat-trick of tries in their Round Five match against Template:Rut Border U19 in a 60–29 victory.[8] Further tries against Template:Rut Limpopo Blue Bulls U19[9] and Template:Rut Griffons U19[10] followed as he helped the Pumas to finish in fourth spot on the log.[11] The Pumas lost to the Template:Rut Falcons U19 in Pieterse's home town of Kempton Park in the final,[12] but he received a personal accolade after the season by being voted the Pumas' Under-19 player of the Year.[13]

At the start of 2015, Pieterse played amateur club rugby, making four appearances for the Witbank Ferros during the Community Cup competition. The team failed to qualify from Pool D, winning just one of their four matches.[14]

He rejoined the Pumas in the second half of the year, starting five matches for the Template:Rut Pumas U21 side during the Under-21 Provincial Championship. He weighed in with two tries – in victories over Template:Rut Border U21[15] and Template:Rut Griffons U21[16] – to help the Pumas win all seven of their matches in the regular season to top the log.[17] The team did not take part in the title play-offs, however, since they were deducted all their log points after fielding ineligible players during the competition.[18]

2016: Western Force / Cottesloe

Pieterse moved to Australia to join the Perth-based Western Force's Future Force program,[5] also playing club rugby for Cottesloe in the Premier Grade,[19] the premier league in Western Australia.[20] He made sixteen appearances in the competitions, and scored four tries – a brace against Wanneroo[21] was followed by one try against Associates in his next match[22] and another against UWA[23] later in the competition. He helped the team reach the semi-finals of the competition, where they lost to Wests Scarborough.[24]

2016: Eastern Province Kings

He returned to South Africa to join the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings prior to the 2016 Currie Cup.[25] He came on as a replacement in their third match of the competition,[26] a 6–36 defeat to Template:Rut Western Province,[27] before being promoted to the starting lineup in their midweek match against Template:Rut Griquas.[28] He also started matches against the Template:Rut Free State Cheetahs,[29] Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup)[30] and former team the Template:Rut Pumas,[31] but could not help his team achieve a victory in the competition, losing all eight of their matches to finish bottom of the log.[32]
