The Stormers will rethink their kicking style of play ahead of Saturday’s Super Rugby clash with the Blues in Auckland.
Their aerial assault bombed against the Hurricanes last week and was one of the reasons why they went down 34-28 on their first match of the overseas tour.
This week they will be faced by a Blues team that loves to run the ball from the back and whether Rieko Ioane plays or not - coach Leon MacDonald is considering resting the player - the Blues will be dangerous from the back.
Stormers coach Robbie Fleck knows they need a different approach to the one that saw them kick away their ball possession last weekend.
He tells the Stormers website: “We will do our work on the Blues this week and come up with another plan, we wanted to target the Hurricanes up front and it worked.
“We got a number of penalties from our maul and scored from our maul, we got penalties from our scrum and when we carried hard we got some ascendency there.”
With Eben Etzebeth, Salmaan Moerat and JD Schickerling injury doubts ahead of the match, the Stormers might opt to go into the match with a game plan involving the backline as well.
