Dylan Maart's rise has been anything but conventional a journey that began not in elite academies, but on taxis ranks, working as a gaatjie to help put food to the table in his youth and later a warehouse worker.

Maart wysed: "If I think of where I was a year ago to where I am now, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to play at the Stormers, so I'm very grateful and excited."
