Meyer Bosman (born in Bethlehem, Free State, South Africa on April 19, 1985) is a South African rugby player, who currently plays for the Sharks franchise. He is a flyhalf (10), but has recently showed great ability in the inside-center (12) position. He has played for the national team of South Africa, the Springboks.

Career

Bosman started his professional rugby career at the Free State Cheetahs, who compete in the Currie Cup. His most famous moment during his first season was the winning try he scored in the dying moments of the game against a full strength Blue Bulls team. The score earned the Free State Cheetahs their second Currie Cup championship (the first being more than 30 years prior). Bosman was part of the team that successfully defended the title for the following two years, by ending in a draw in 2006 against Blue Bulls and defeating the Golden Lions in 2007's final.

At the young age of 20, he made his debut for the Boks in late 2005, against Wales in Cardiff. The Boks won the game 33–16, with Bosman contributed two conversions on his debut. He played the next week against France in Paris, again starting at flyhalf. He kicked one penalty goal in the 20–26 loss.

In 2006, the Central Cheetahs entered the Super 14, as the new South African rugby franchise. After the season ended, Bosman was called up for the Boks for the Tri Nations, and was a reserve in the 0–49 loss in Brisbane.

At the end of the 2010 Currie Cup season, Bosman signed with The Sharks, the 2010 Currie Cup Champions. He made his debut for them against his former team, the Cheetahs, in the Super 15 competition on the 19 February 2011 playing at inside center. Ironically the former Sharks inside center, Andries Strauss, played in that match for the Cheetahs, the two players literally swapping the number 12 jerseys for the two teams respectively.
