John Dobson has entrusted players previously described as discards and journeymen with a Vodacom United Rugby Championship campaign that has brought him within one win of becoming the most successful coach in DHL Stormers history.
The showdown against the Vodacom Bulls at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday is a rematch of the Stormers’ only other appearance in an international final after the Cape side went down 25-17 in the 2010 Super Rugby final at Orlando Stadium. But where Fourie had played a secondary role in 2010, the 35-year-old has returned from seven years in France to take his place, as a flank, in the vanguard of Dobson’s quest for European glory.
There was limited fanfare when Dobson brought them to Cape Town last year, but both players have excelled at the Stormers – Libbok finished the season as the URC’s leading point scorer while Dayimani scored two tries in 12 starts.The two dovetail in the kicking game, a key factor of the Stormers’ success this season. The ambidextrous flyhalf lofts kicks and Dayimani uses his rare pace to meet the ball on landing.
