John-Hubert Meyer (born (1993-09-19)19 September 1993) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Template:Rut Sharks' Super Rugby and Currie Cup teams.[1] He can play as a loosehead or tighthead prop.

Rugby career

2012 : Sharks Under-19

Meyer was born in Cape Town and attended Paul Roos Gymnasium in nearby Stellenbosch. He never earned a provincial call-up for Template:Rut Western Province during his school career and moved to Durban to join the Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup) after finishing school. He was named on the bench for all thirteen of the Template:Rut Sharks U19's matches during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring a try in their 46–3 victory over the Template:Rut SWD U19s[2] and two tries in their final match of the regular season, a 47–45 victory over the Template:Rut Leopards U19s.[3] The Sharks finished in third place to qualify for the semi-finals,[4] where they lost to the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19s.[5]

2014–2015 : Western Province Under-21 and Maties

Meyer moved back to Cape Town to join the Template:Rut Western Province U21 team for their Under-21 Provincial Championship season. He made six starts and four appearances as a replacement during the regular season, scoring a try in their 39–18 victory over Template:Rut Free State U21[6] to help his side top the log.[7] He started their 29–22 victory over the same opposition in their semi-final[8] and in the final, where he finished on the winning side, as Western Province beat the Blue Bulls 33–26 in Cape Town.[9]

At the start of 2015, Meyer represented the Stellenbosch University's rugby team Template:Rut Maties in the Varsity Cup competition. He played in six of their seven matches, scoring a try in their narrow defeat to eventual champions Template:Rut UFS Shimlas,[10] but could not help Maties into the semi-finals, with the three-time champions finishing in fifth place.[11]

2016–present : Sharks and UKZN Impi

Meyer again made the move to Durban for the 2016 season. He started the season with five appearances in the Varsity Shield competition for the KwaZulu-Natal university side Template:Rut UKZN Impi. He scored a try for them in their 72–8 victory over Template:Rut TUT Vikings[12] His team won seven of their eight matches and would have finished joint-top of the log with Template:Rut Wits,[13] but they had 12 points deducted for fielding an ineligible player, therefore missing out on the title play-offs and a shot at promotion to the Varsity Cup.[14]

Meyer was included in the Template:Rut Sharks XV squad for the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series and he made his first class debut at the end of April 2016, coming on as a replacement in their 48–18 victory over Namibian side the Template:Rut Welwitschias in Umlazi.[15] He made a further four appearances for the team as they finished in tenth place on the log.[16] He was also included in the Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup) squad for the Currie Cup Premier Division, and he made his debut at that level in a 46–24 victory over Template:Rut Griquas in Round Two of the competition.[17] He remained in the matchday squad for the remainder of the competition, making a further six appearances, which included his first senior start in their 53–0 victory over the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings.[18] Despite being in the top two on the log for the majority of the series, a defeat to the Template:Rut Golden Lions in the final round of the season[19] saw the Sharks drop out of the top four altogether, finishing in fifth place and missing out on a semi-final spot.[20]

At the end of October 2016, Meyer was included in the Template:Rut Sharks Super Rugby squad for the 2017 season.[21]
