Elgar Graeme Watts is a South African rugby union player, currently in his third spell with Currie Cup side the Boland Cavaliers. He previously played for the Pumas, Free State Cheetahs and Griquas domestically and for the Cheetahs and the Kings in Super Rugby. His usual position is fly-half.
Watts started his career playing rugby for University of Stellenbosch side Maties, representing them at the 2006 National Club Championships held in Stellenbosch.
He made his first class debut in 2008 for Wellington-based side Boland Cavaliers, coming on as a replacement in their first match in the 2008 Vodacom Cup against the Falcons. Just a quarter of an hour into his debut, he scored his first points for the Cavaliers, kicking a drop goal in the 78th minute to help his side to a 31–22 victory. He also played off the bench in their second match of the campaign, a 29–25 victory over the Leopards in Potchefstroom before making his first start for his side in a 45–7 win over the Pumas, kicking five conversions in that match. He also started their remaining four matches in the round-robin stage of the competition, scoring a further 12 points to help the Cavaliers finish in third spot on the Southern Section log to qualify for a quarter final match away to the Free State Cheetahs. He started that match as fly-half, but could not prevent Free State running out 35–20 winners to eliminate Boland from the competition.
