Uzair Cassiem is a South African rugby union player who currently plays for the Cheetahs in the Super Rugby competition.[1][2]

Cassiem, who usually plays as a loose forward, previously represented the Golden Lions and Falcons.

In 2013, he was included in a South Africa President's XV team that played in the 2013 IRB Tbilisi Cup[3] and won the tournament after winning all three matches.[4] Cassiem finished joint top try scorer with two tries.

He was a member of the Pumas side that won the Vodacom Cup for the first time in 2015, beating Western Province 24–7 in the final.[5] Cassiem appeared in all ten of their matches during the season.

Despite initially signing a contract to join Kimberley-based side Griquas prior to the 2016 season,[6] he was included in the training squad of Super Rugby side the Cheetahs[7] and it was later confirmed that he would remain with them for the entire 2016 season.[8]
