George de la Rey Tossel (born 5 March 1988 in Pretoria, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with Western Province Super League club side Hamiltons. He usually plays as a centre, but can also play as a winger or a fullback.
After playing schoolboy rugby at Middelburg Technical High School, Tossel was included in the Pumas squad for the 2006 Under-18 Craven Week tournament. He moved to Durban, where he joined the Sharks Academy. For the 2008–2009 season, Tossel had a spell at English North 1 West side West Park St Helens before returning to Durban.
In 2010, he joined the Pumas and was named in their Vodacom Cup squad, but failed to make an appearance. In 2011, he made appearances for NWU Pukke during the 2011 Varsity Cup competition.
2011 saw Tossel join Potchefstroom-based side Leopards. He made his first class debut for them in their 2011 Vodacom Cup match against Boland Cavaliers. He also made his Currie Cup debut in the same season, making twelve appearances in a disappointing campaign that saw the Leopards being relegated to the First Division. He did contribute three tries during the season though, the first of those coming against the Pumas.
An injury-plagued 2012 saw him play just three matches, although he did score three tries, including a brace in their match against the Griffons. A return to regular rugby saw Tossel contribute four tries in 21 appearances during the 2013 Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup seasons.
