The exciting Hacjivah Dayimani is determined to fire against Ulster on Saturday, whether that’s in the Stormers back row or the backline, reportsKnown for his try-scoring breaks and speed, the versatile Dayimani has shown a harder edge this season as he continues to develop a more rounded skill set, and his interplay for the Stormers has dovetailed with abrasive No 8 Evan Roos and wily opensider Deon Fourie.
Set to pack down with Vermeulen in the Irish loose trio is the athletic Nick Timoney, who was named in the official URC Dream Team for 2021-22, and the impressive yet underrated Matty Rea. “But I always believe that my circus act, and Evan’s circus act, and Deon’s circus act, is enough to go against anyone in the competition, especially if you do it right.“A good thing about this competition [at the moment] is that other than Duane, I don’t really know a lot about the other players and likewise they don’t know a lot about me, so it always creates that hype around ‘What are you going to bring out the box?’ type of surprise. It’s just an exciting battle.
Dayimani, who was used as a backline replacement at the Lions, was ready to fill in when Stormers centre Rikus Pretorius was injured early on Saturday against Edinburgh, and again when replacement debutant Sacha Mngomezulu left the field.The 24-year-old said: “When Rikus went down I did the quick math [as coach John Dobson had gone with a six-two split on the bench] … and then Sacha started limping … I was like ‘If Sacha goes down now, I’ll have to shift’ and I was ready for the challenge.
Circus act?
Been wanting to see Dayimani get a good run in the backline for a looong time. But thrilled that his combo with Brannas and the Rooster is shooting the lights out.
