Andrew Justerine Deometrie van Wyk (born 4 August 1989 in Prieska, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Falcons. His regular position is winger or centre.
He was selected for several youth tournaments by his local provincial side, Griquas. In 2005, he was selected in their Under-16 squad for the Grant Khomo Week tournament and in both 2006 and 2007, he was selected for their Under-18 Craven Week side. Towards the end of 2007, he was also a member of the Griquas U19 side that participated in the Under-19 Provincial Championship.
In 2008, Van Wyk moved to Potchefstroom where he became involved in rugby for university side NWU Pukke, as well as the Potchefstroom-based provincial outfit the Leopards. He played for the Leopards U21 side in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Under-21 Provincial Championships. He scored six tries in 2010, one behind the joint-leading try-scorers for the Leopards U21 side, SP Marais and Joubert Engelbrecht.
He played Varsity Cup rugby for four consecutive seasons between 2009 and 2012. He scored two tries in nine appearances in his maiden season in the competition in 2009. One try followed in both 2010 (in five appearances) and 2011 (in seven starts), but 2012 was the season when he sprung to prominence with his performances, scoring nine tries in eight starts to finish the season as joint-top try scorer in the competition with UJ's Chrysander Botha. His scoring spree included three braces during the competition, against the NMMU Madibaz, eventual champions UP Tuks and UFS Shimlas.
