Meyer hat-trick secures Bastion win
A hat-trick from Pieter Meyer helped Bastion claim a convincing 37-18 triumph over Oppidani in the Steinhoff Koshuisrugby Championships.
Bastion have won two in a row following their 26-24 win over the Steinhoff Cobras last weekend.
Oppidani got the first points on the board in the match after a cross-kick bounced awkwardly and Sisipo Nxawe pounced on the opportunity to open the scoring with a try.
However, Bastion quickly equaled the scores at 8-8 when flank Meyer crashed over for the first of his three tries.
Centre Ben Verhoef kick four out of five off the tee and scored a try to rack up an impressive 17 points for Bastion in a good performance from the creative inside back.
Oppidani had their moments and added two late tries, but bastion were the dominant force in the match and deserved winners.

For Steinhoff Bastion:
Tries: Meyer 3, Redelinghuys, Verhoef
Cons: Verhoef 4
