Willem de Waal (born 17 February 1978 in Paarl, South Africa) is a South African rugby union footballer who is currently playing for Western Province in the Currie Cup competition. He plays in the position of fly-half. Like Joost van der Westhuizen at scrum-half, de Waal is unusually big for a fly-half, but he is an intelligent player who uses the ball well, whether by hand or by foot, and most importantly, he is cool under pressure.

Career

De Waal played rugby for Stellenbosch University before making his provincial debut with the Leopards in 2002. He then moved to the Free State Cheetahs in 2004 where he would experience his greatest success so far. In each of his four seasons at the club, the Cheetahs made it to the final of the Currie Cup, winning twice and sharing one.

De Waal has also played at Super Rugby level, making his debut with the Bulls in 2004 before joining the Cats in 2005. When the competition expanded to 14 teams in 2006, the Cats split into two separate franchises - the Lions and the Cheetahs, which de Waal joined.

On 24 July 2007 it was announced that de Waal had signed a two-year deal with French club RC Narbonne.
