One area Blues flanker, Hoskins Sotutu will be aiming at improving is the clearing and the turning over of balls during breakdowns.

RugbyPass reports the 21-year-old has been working on this and his coaches have been assisting him.

Sotutu was part of an impressive loose forward combo that outgunned their Hurricanes counterparts 30-20 last weekend.

He has also been working on his defence, ensuring that he becomes an enforcer at both ends of the ball.

Sotutu has been named in the starting line-up for the Blues when they take on the Chiefs at 7.05 tonight.

The Crusaders will face the Hurricanes at 3.35pm tomorrow.
