Joseph Dweba Explains Exeter Move After Rejecting Richer Sale Offer

He says the choice put his wife's law studies ahead of a bigger paycheck.

Overview

  • He joined Exeter Chiefs from the Stormers in the off-season after the family reassessed and agreed the timing was right.
  • His family briefly moved to Devon and then returned to South Africa for school and studies, leaving him based alone in Exeter.
  • He has made four early appearances for Exeter and scored in a Premiership Rugby Cup win over Bath.
  • The Springbok hooker has six caps for South Africa, most recently against Argentina in August 2023.
