Meyer Swanepoel, a South African rugby union star, was born 7 May 1989 in Bellville (West Cape), South Africa. He most recently played for Western Province. He is a regular flanker or eighth-man position.

He was selected in the Sharks XV team for the 2010 Vodacom cup competition. In his class debut, he played off the bench in a 26-17 win over Free State XV in their Round Three match at Empangeni. He also made two more appearances as a substitute, playing in a defeat of the SWD Eagles in Oudtshoorn (10-16) and in a victory of 35-20 over the Boland Cavaliers (Pitermaritzburg (20-20).

Swanepoel failed to break into the Sharks’ Currie Cup squad and returned to Stellenbosch to represent their university side, Maties, in the 2011 Varsity Cup competition. Despite winning the first three editions of the competition in 2008, 2009 and 2010, Maties struggled in the 2011 edition and finished in fifth position, missing out on a semi-final spot, with Swanepoel making six appearances.

He scored three tries in nineteen appearances during the 2012–2013 regular season, helping Mogliano to finish in fourth position to again qualify for the semi-finals. He started all their matches in the play-offs; an 18–8 victory over table-toppers Viadana in the semi-final first leg proved crucial as Mogliano qualified for the final despite a 6–13 defeat in the second leg. Swanepoel played the full 80 minutes of the final as they avenged their semi- final defeat to I Cavalieri the previous season by winning 16–11 to win their first ever Italian title. In addition to the Italian league, Mogliano’s semi- final spot in 2011–2012 also saw them qualify for the 2012–13 European Challenge Cup. Swanepoel featured in all six of their matches in the competition, but a torrid season saw them losing all six of their matches, scoring just four tries and conceding 52.

In the second half of 2010, he rejoined Sharks U21, where he made twelve appearances in their 13 matches in the 2010 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A. He got six tries in the competition. He got two in their match against Boland U21, which was a 106-3 win. They finished third on the log with nine wins, while the Sharks placed third in the regular season.
