Meeuws (35) arrived back in the province in July to join up with Otago for an initial six-week contract.
He was brought in to temporarily replace prop Keith Cameron, who injured his thumb in a pre-season match against North Otago.
But Cameron made a return to the paddock on Saturday, playing 30 minutes for Otago B in its narrow loss to Southland B at Carisbrook.
Otago coach Steve Martin said Meeuws was playing well and his place in the squad would be a week-to-week proposition.
Cameron, who is also the side's scrum coach, would be available for selection for this Sunday's match against Auckland at Carisbrook.
Meeuws has come back from overseas to settle in Dunedin with his family, and has started a building apprenticeship.
Nolan, who has started every game for Otago so far this season at loosehead, aggravated a rib injury against Northland last Friday night and was forced to leave the field about midway through the first half.
Martin said the rib was just bruised but the coaching team will probably wait until tomorrow for full-contact training to see how Nolan shapes up.
Midfield backs Brett Mather and Luke Herden, who missed last Friday's 29-7 win over Northland with leg injuries, are back training.
Herden was running at about 70%, recovering from a thigh injury, while Mather is slowly improving from a hamstring strain.
A decision on their availability will be made later in the week.
All Black management had declared that only Isaia Toeava would be able to play for Auckland on Sunday, but other Auckland All Blacks such as Jerome Kaino, John Afoa, and Joe Rokocoko had indicated their desire to play.
A decision on their availability will be made later in the week, but Martin said the selection of Auckland's team was out of Otago's hands, so it would just concentrate on its own game.
Martin said he hoped a decent crowd would turn up for Sunday's game, with Otago up to fifth on the table.
"I hope people recognise they are seeing a team playing with a lot of passion and playing some well-structured rugby.
"There are outside observers who are talking quite positively about what we are doing," Martin said.
Sunday's game will be the first afternoon kick-off for Otago.
Martin said the team was looking forward to playing a game in daylight.
"Last week against Northland in the last 15 to 20 minutes, the ball was getting quite slippery as there was dew around.
"It has an impact on the game.
"Hopefully we'll get a bit of sun on the back and the guys can have a bit more confidence to throw the ball around."
After Auckland, Otago will have its Ranfurly Shield challenge against Canterbury but Martin said the team was just concentrating on the next training and then the game against Auckland on Sunday.
