Pieter Willem Gabriel Rossouw (born 3 December 1971) is a South African former professional rugby player and current coach.
Rossouw played wing for Western Province in the Currie Cup and the Stormers in the Super Rugby competition.
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.
[3] Pieter is the older brother of Chris Rossouw, who played flyhalf for Western Province and the Free State Cheetahs.
Despite not featuring in the Super 12 in 1997, Rossouw was selected for the Springboks to face the touring British and Irish Lions in 1997.
He made his Springbok debut against the Lions in the second test of the tour on 28 June 1997 at Kings Park in Durban.
At the end of 1997 the Springboks toured to Europe, playing test matches against Italy, France, England and Scotland.
[6] In 1997, Western Province won the Currie Cup by beating Free State in the final by 14 points to 12 at Newlands in Cape Town.
However, South Africa, who ended their unbeaten run in 1970, was not part of their opposition during this period, due to the sporting boycott.
[12] In 2002 it was announced that Rossouw did not renew his contract with the Stormers and SARFU and elected to sign with English Premiership team, London Irish.
Arriving at London Irish, Rossouw struggled with a hamstring injury and ended up playing only eight games for the team, scoring one try.
London Irish did not have a very good season, which prompted coach Brendan Venter to make himself available to play again.
[13] Rossouw returned to Cape Town and again played Currie Cup for Western Province and Super Rugby for the Stormers.
He resigned from the job in June 2015 and started as Backline coach with the Namibia national rugby union team.
