With his team blowing hot and cold and in danger of missing out on a playoff spot, Stormers coach Robbie Fleck believes fans haven’t seen the best of them yet.
Fleck sent out the warning to the Jaguares before his team left for Argentina this week.
Having beaten the Bulls 24-23 at Newlands last weekend, Fleck says his team still has an extra gear and hopes that they can find it in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
According to the former centre, his team was stuck in cruise control in against the Bulls.

He explains: “There was a funny feeling in the change room after the Bulls game - the boys were a bit quiet.
“They were happy with the win, but I think they felt there was a lot more in there.
“And that’s quite exciting - we were sort of holding back a bit and hopefully we can let loose a bit in Jaguares.”
The Stormers will have to find that gear without captain Siya Kolisi, who will miss the match because of an agreement made with SA Rugby.
Kolisi, though, believes the players are equipped with the right tools and have what it takes to slam their foot on the gas harder.
He says of their attacking play: “It’s getting better and better, we’re growing in confidence in it.
“We’re not going to change [the way we attack in Argentina] - we’re going to see what the opposition defence does and we’ll make a few tweaks, but the way we want to attack is getting better each weekend.”

Kolisi isn’t the only Bok that will miss the clash, with Pieter-Steph du Toit out with an injured.
But with Jaco Coetzee and Sikhumbuzo Nothse back from injury, the Stormers have enough quality to compete with the Jaguares in that department.
