Wyatt is remembered as one of the best Canadian rugby players of his generation and of all time, and for his kicking skills which made him one of the most prolific scorers ever for Canada. He also played for the British invitational team Barbarian F.C., played against the North of England for the World XV in 1989, and played in the Australian Bi-Centennial for the World XV in Sydney, 1988.
He played for the Victoria High School Titans (rugby) and Tyees (soccer) and was first noticed in 1980. He then went to play for James Bay Athletic Association, for a year. He then played for the University of Victoria, Velox Valhallians and the Vancouver Island Crimson Tide.
Wyatt had 29 caps for Canada, from 1982 to 1991, scoring 1 try, 23 conversions, 55 penalties and 5 drop goals, for an aggregate of 227 points. As a 20-year old his first test match for the "Canucks" came on 11 April 1982, in a 24–18 loss to Japan, in Osaka. He scored two conversions and two penalties.
