Yeah my take is that Fourie on the bench with Am starting at 13 is better than having Dweba on the bench and Kriel starting

Van Staden's lineout throw-ins were not up to standard over the weekend, but Dweeb's throw-ins have been poor.
Bringing Dweeb in seems pointless, given Fourie put in his best Bok performance yet, over the weekend
Why is it that after Dweba was thrown under the bus and fell short throwing in in those tests is he forever defined as a poor line out thrower?
As a rugby follower are you unable to move on from this definition having witnessed him spending a whole season throwing in on point for the Stormers
Fuck me some supporters are so fucking narrow minded and rugby ignorant
Evolve for fuck sake
I used to think Kriel was the answer at 13, do I now? Evolution
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.
Shark wake the fuck up if your throwing improves for the Stormers why the fuck would it fold at test level?
Dweba was powerful in general play you are speaking shit
Denny bullshit was Dweba a quota selection, his form for the Cheetahs before he left for overseas had test player written all over it. He was outstanding and will feature for us in a big way once Bongi is done
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.
Yeah Rooi I don’t think there is a restriction on who can throw into the line out
Dweba’s throwing in for the Stormers was good, poor guy got thrown under the bus when he made his debut

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.
