DUNEDIN – The Vodacom Stormers arrived in Dunedin early Monday afternoon after a 27 hour journey that took them via Hong Kong and Sydney and into Highlanders territory for the weekend’s clash at Carisbrook.

The Stormers were greeted by cool cloudy weather in the Dunedin capital and will on Tuesday begin preparing for their tour opener at the much vaunted “House of Pain”.

The team will spend the next couple of hours focusing on their post flight recovery programme, ensuring they can train and prepare at maximum capacity for their clash against the Highlanders.
