Career
He made his debut for Germany against Switzerland in a friendly on 29 September 2007. Pyrasch has also played for the Germany"s 7"s side in the past, like at the 2009 Hannover Sevens and the 2009 London Sevens. Pyrasch was one of four German rugby players, together with Mustafa Güngör, Fabian Heimpel and Bastian Himmer, who were promised by the DRV that they could join the Sportkompanie of the Bundeswehr, a special sports unit within the German Army.
This was however not the case, with no places available in the unit for male rugby players until 2012.
This let to great resentment by the players towards the DRV and its then-chairman Claus-Peter Bach because all four had turned down other options in favour of the promised place in the Sportkompanie.
