Exeter Chiefs hooker Joseph Dweba has set his sights on a return to the South Africa national team. The 30-year-old, who has won six caps for the Springboks, last played for his country in August 2023 against Argentina. He was part of the 2021 squad that faced the British and Irish Lions but did not feature in any matches during the series. Dweba moved to Exeter from Cape Town-based Stormers in the summer of 2023 and has made 18 appearances across all competitions this season. His performances have contributed to Exeter reaching the semi-finals of the European Challenge Cup and holding a play-off position in the Premiership. "It's definitely still a desire for me to play for them," Dweba said. He emphasized consistency at club level as the pathway back to international rugby, adding, "As a player you just need to perform. So the moment you perform on the field you're definitely going to get your shot." Dweba remains focused on helping Exeter succeed, believing strong club form will naturally lead to wider recognition.
