Whilst playing for the Pumas, Dluane was included in the Springboks squad for the end of year tours in Europe in 2004. He came off the bench in a Test against Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. South Africa won the match by two points, 38 to 36. He produced a man-of-the-match performance as well as scoring a try for the Blue Bulls in the win over the Free State Cheetahs in the 2006 Currie Cup. Dlulane sustained a neck injury in a 2006 Currie Cup match and had an operation to correct the damage.
Was it not for a serious neck injury in the ABSA Currie Cup last year, Tim Dlulane would surely have added to his one test cap for the Springboks. When this tough-as-nails flanker got injured, he was arguably one of the best loosies in the domestic competition. Dlulane played in his only test against Wales on the November-tour in 2004. He has a work-rate second to none and is one of the players in South Africa that trains the hardest in the gym.
