Stormers lure URC winner back
TRANSFER TALK: The Stormers reportedly signed one of their former stars after suffering a spate of injuries in the second row.
Superstar flanker Hacjivah Dayimani will rejoin the Stormers as early as this week on a short-term deal from Racing 92, according to News24.
However, @Rugby365 has reliably been informed that the duration of the deal is not yet conclusive, indicating that it could be until the end of the season or possibly longer.
He could be available for their upcoming clash against the Lions at Ellis Park on February 28.
Dayimani, who played an integral part in the Stormers’ 2021/22 United Rugby Championship-winning campaign, is only brought in as injury cover, with fellow loose forward Ruan Ackermann ruled out with a long-term injury.
There is also their ever-growing lock crisis following the loss of Salmaan Moerat and Ruben van Heerden, who are sidelined for extended periods as well.
Springbok utility forward Ben-Jason Dixon is set to move to lock from his usual No.7 position.
Dayimani’s ability to be a line-out jumper would bulk the Stormers in that department, which they’ve recently struggled in against the Sharks.
