Springboks captain Siya Kolisi is excited to see highly promising hooker Joseph Dweba of Bordeaux in France making his anticipated debut against Argentina in the opening match of the Rugby Championship in Gqeberha on Saturday

The 25-year-old Dweba is the only uncapped player in the Bok starting line-up and he will be part of the largely inexperienced front row with Ox Nché, who has three caps, and Wilco Louw, who has 13. “Playing hooker is an important position. We have a lot of senior guys who have played a lot of games but when it comes to scrumming and stuff we look to him, and he has taken that in his stride.
“Whether you have zero caps or 89 or 90 caps, we all have duties as team members and whether you are the captain or whatever we all listen to the person who is in charge.”
