Dube's contributions across his Currie Cup appearances are almost entirely defensive in nature, averaging over two tackles per game as a replacement — a rate that points to a player brought on specifically to shore up the defensive line. His carry count is minimal, suggesting his primary brief when introduced is not to carry ball but to make his presence felt in the collision. His best single-game output of seven tackles underlines that his ceiling in that department is notably higher than his average.
