Lock Dylan Sjoblom is reportedly set to feature in the DHL Stormers matchday lineup against Leicester Tigers in their Champions Cup opener on Sunday.
The Stormers are only set to name their team on Friday, yet Sjoblom – a contracted Griquas player – has been nominated by the Capetonians in an official EPCR statement as an additional player for round 1 of the competition.

According to a report on Netwerk24, Sjoblom, who represented Shimlas in the 2023 Varsity Cup, is in line to make his debut for the Stormers as early as this weekend’s clash at Welford Road.
It is understood that Sjoblom was part of the Stormers setup in pre-season, and Griquas coach Pieter Bergh is quoted by Netwerk24 as having confirmed that the youngster is currently on loan to the franchise.
This development follows Sjoblom’s standout performance for Griquas against Western Province in the Currie Cup.
