Stormers flanker Dayimani commits to the club with new extension
By Rugby365
Loose forward Hacjivah Dayimani has signed a contract extension that will see him stay in Stormers colours until at least 2025.
The dynamic Dayimani has made a big impression since returning to the city of his birth in 2021 and will have plenty of opportunities to express himself further in a Stormers jersey.
He played an important role in the Stormers claiming the inaugural United Rugby Championship title last season and has built further on that this season with a number of top performances at the back of the scrum.
A loose forward with considerable athletic ability, Dayimani does not fit any mould and brings his own flair to everything he does on the field for the Stormers.
Head coach John Dobson said that it is great to know that Dayimani will form part of the future growth of the team.
“Hacjivah is a special player who brings something completely unique to our team, so we couldn’t be happier to have him extend his contract with us.
“He keeps everyone on their toes on and off the field and is already a crowd favourite at Cape Town Stadium, so we expect that to grow even further in the seasons ahead.
Dayimani said that he wants to keep developing his game with the Stormers.
“The team environment here is incredible, everyone involved is able to be themselves and express themselves, which is really important to me.
“There is still so much that we can achieve together and I really want to be part of that, so I couldn’t be happier to extend my contract,” he said.

Fantastic idea to fix your annual showpiece fixture (from the Wallabies perspective) to a national holiday. Look at the success this has had in the USA, where NBA and NFL fans pack multiple arenas across the country on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving, the two most widely-celebrated national holidays in North America, with millions more tuning in on TV. This allows fans to create an association between the holiday and the game, while the ANZAC Day example has the added benefit of the same two teams (who are already established historical and geographical rivals) playing each year, adding to the sense of tradition and deepening the rivalry with each iteration.
Would love to see this more widely-implemented across rugby. For instance, Ireland should seek to tie the opening fixture of the Women’s Six Nations to St. Patrick’s Day and host the game in the RDS with the Leinster Schools Senior Cup Final serving as an opener (bonus points if you make the opponent England every year). Would pack out the stadium and the School’s final fans always bring fantastic atmosphere!
