Hacjivah Dayimani will earn his 50th Stormers cap in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship (URC) clash against Ulster in Cape Town as uncertainty remains over his future at the franchise.

It has been widely reported that the 26-year-old loose forward is eyeing a move abroad, and coach John Dobson acknowledged last week that there might have to be some financial manoeuvring to keep him at DHL Stadium once his contract expires at the end of the season.

One of the form players in the URC this season, Dayimani has been a standout for the Stormers with his attacking enterprise, versatility, stepping and distribution, making him one of the most dynamic players on their 2023/24 roster.
