Career

=Youth and Varsity rugby=

After having represented {{Rut|Western Province}} at the 2006 Under-13 Craven Week, the 2009 Under-16 Grant Khomo Week and the 2010 Under-18 Craven Week tournaments, Orie made the move north to join Pretoria-based side the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}}.

He played for the {{Rut|Blue Bulls U19}} side that were the losing finalists in the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship competition and for the {{Rut|Blue Bulls U21}} side that won the Under-21 Provincial Championship the following season. He was also a member of the South African Under-20 side that memorably won the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship on home soil,{{cite web | url=http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Baby-Boks-squad-named-20120530 | title=Baby Boks squad named | publisher=Sport24 | date=30 May 2012 | access-date=9 May 2014}} although he didn't make an appearance in the tournament.

In 2013, Orie played for Pretoria university side {{Rut|UP Tuks}} in the Varsity Cup competition, helping them win the competition for the second consecutive season.{{SA Rugby Match Centre | id=106274 | homeid=10614 | awayid=10644 | leagueid=1084 | hometeam=FNB Maties | homescore=5 | awayscore=44 | awayteam=FNB UP-Tuks 1 | matchdate=8 April 2013 | date=21 September 2016}} He was set to captain the Junior Boks at the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship,{{cite web | url=http://www.rugby365.com/article/53291-no-foreign-quota-for-boks | title=No foreign quota for Boks | publisher=Rugby365 | date=16 April 2013 | access-date=9 May 2014}} but suffered a horrific broken leg in the Varsity Cup final and missed the remainder of the 2013 season.{{cite web | url=http://www.mrpricesport.com/HeroesNews/News/Bad-break-for-Orie.aspx | title=Bad break for Orie | publisher=Mr Price Sport | access-date=9 May 2014}}

=Blue Bulls=

Orie was named as a substitute for the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}}' 2012 Vodacom Cup match against the {{Rut|Pumas}} in Nelspruit,{{SA Rugby Match Centre | id=103671 | homeid=11371 | awayid=11341 | leagueid=1211 | hometeam=Ford Pumas | homescore=19 | awayscore=19 | awayteam=Vodacom Blue Bulls | matchdate=17 March 2012 | date=21 September 2016}} but failed to make an appearance. However, due to his involvement with {{Rut|UP Tuks}} in the 2013 Varsity Cup and the subsequent broken leg he suffered, he only made his first class debut two years later, making an appearance from the bench in their 30–26 victory over the {{Rut|Leopards}} in Leeudoringstad in the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.{{SA Rugby Match Centre | id=118054 | homeid=17504 | awayid=17454 | leagueid=1734 | hometeam=Leopards XV | homescore=26 | awayscore=30 | awayteam=Vodacom Blue Bulls | matchdate=29 March 2014 | date=21 September 2016}} After five substitute appearances, he made his first start in the Semi-Finals of the competition against the {{Rut|Golden Lions}}.{{cite web | url=http://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/blue-bulls-score-from-venue-change-1.1684728 | title=Blue Bulls score from venue change | publisher=IOL Sport | work=SAPA | date=7 May 2014 | access-date=9 May 2014}}
