Not sure that's the right call but at least he adds value to the squad which Dweba doesn't really, given that we have Bongi.
I'm still worried we have part time hookers on the bench but Am ahead of Kriel at #13 improves the team.
We all know why Dweeb was in the squad and Rassie probably feels no need to fill that criteria which to all intents and purposes torpedo the team's chances of winning.
Playing at lower levels of the game, is a different kettle of fish.
I saw poor throws, just like I saw Van Staden making poor throws. Outside of the scrum, he did squat for the Boks.
Playing against Swansea or a B-team Leinster is not test rugby.
He could improve, but why bother at such a late hour to bring in a player that never played well when given the chances.
Rassie is taking a huge gamble, the stakes are high......there is no time to experiment.
Must agree with Saffex here, Dweba is no quota player. He's big and powerful and the next best hooker we have available . . . even if his lineout throwing is not quite up to scratch.
it does raise an interesting hypothetical question though. If Rassie had called up Dweba as a backup hooker instead of Lukhanyo Am, and let's say it was the 60th minute of a game and Rassie had sent on Dweba to replace Bongi and Fourie to replace a loosie, would we be allowed to use Dweba as the hooker in the scrums but use Fourie as the thrower in the lineouts? I can't think why not and it would have eliminated both player's glaring weaknesses.
