Sergeal Phillipe Petersen (born 1 August 1994) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Cheetahs in Super Rugby and the Free State Cheetahs in Currie Cup rugby. His regular position is winger.
He played for the Eastern Province Kings at all youth levels, representing them at the 2007 Under-13 Craven Week, the 2010 Under-16 Grant Khomo Week (scoring three tries in three games) and in the 2012 Under-18 Craven Week (scoring four tries in three games). His performances in the latter tournament earned him inclusion in the South African Schools team that played against France, Wales and England in August 2012. Petersen scored a try in each of those matches to ensure that the South African remained unbeaten in the series.
He was included in the squad for the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship, but failed to recover from a hamstring injury in time and was replaced by Jesse Kriel. He got a second opportunity the following year when he was included in the South Africa Under-20 side for the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship held in New Zealand. He opened his scoring in that competition just half an hour into the opening match against Scotland, helping his side to a 61–5 victory. He started their second match of the competition, where South Africa beat the hosts and four-time winners New Zealand 33–24, and scored a try in the final minute of their last match of the pool stages to secure a 21–8 victory over Samoa. Petersen contributed largely to South Africa once again beating New Zealand in the semi-final of the competition, this time winning 32–25 and he started his fifth consecutive match of the competition in the final against England; however, this time he finished on the losing side, with England winning the match 21–20 to be crowned champions for the second consecutive year.
