Wendal Peter Wehr (born Worcester, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with Griquas. He mostly plays as a flanker, but he has also occasionally played as a winger.
27 December 1987 inAt youth level, Wehr represented the Boland U21 side in the 2007 and 2008 editions of the Under-21 Provincial Championship.
He made his first class debut for the Wellington-based Boland Cavaliers during the 2008 Vodacom Cup competition, coming on as a substitute in their match against the Free State XV in Bloemfontein, which ended in a 35–20 defeat for the Cavaliers.
He made his Currie Cup debut five months later during the 2008 Currie Cup Premier Division, playing off the bench against the Blue Bulls in Pretoria in a 69–19 defeat.
He was more regularly involved during the 2009 Currie Cup Premier Division competition – he was included in the run-on side for ten of their matches during the season and also made a further three appearances off the bench. This was also the season that saw Wehr being employed as a winger instead of his normal position as a flanker, starting three matches of the regular season on the left wing. He also scored his first senior try when he got a try in the final minute of their 31–23 defeat to Griquas. His second senior try for Boland came a few weeks later in the promotion/relegation series against the Pumas. He scored to help his side to a 36–35 victory in Wellington, but that ultimately proved to futile as a 40–3 victory in the return leg in Witbank saw the Pumas promoted to the Premier Division at the Cavaliers' expense.
