The Stormers' transformation from also rans to a team of contenders in the inaugural United Rugby Championship has puzzled many rugby observers.

The seemingly unwieldy combination of Deon Fourie, Hacjivah Dayimani and Evan Roos would not necessarily have instilled fear in the opposition at the start of the season, but there is little doubt they have helped create a point of difference for John Dobson's team. Hlungwani explained what sets Dayimani apart. “He is easy to coach. His work ethic is second to none. I enjoy his intellect and sometimes you see it in the game.”
“I was ready for that challenge,” said Dayimani, a former No 8 who has excelled on the side of the scrum for the Stormers. “I've played 12 for the Lions against the Sharks, I've played wing the Crusaders, I've played 12 in the Currie Cup against Griquas. Sometimes in a game from broken play I'm in the backline. If Dobbo looks at me I'm not going to shy away. I'll slot in.”
