He was cautious to reveal how the Stormers would juggle the workload over two competitions (URC and Champions Cup).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We haven&#8217;t thought that far ahead, to be honest. If it works for you then it works for you, if it doesn&#8217;t come off, then the spectators won&#8217;t like you that much,&#8221; Laker said.<\/p>\n<p>Laker used Irish giants Leinster as an example of a team that remained competitive throughout both competitions last season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know the URC and Champions Cup are two different competitions. But I think Leinster is a perfect example from last year&#8230; getting into a semi-final of the URC and making the Champions Cup final.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying we&#8217;re Leinster, I&#8217;m just saying it can happen. I do think we&#8217;ve rotated our squad quite well over the first nine games [of the season]. I think we&#8217;re the only team that actually haven&#8217;t picked the same XV for the past nine games. We did give guys opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In our case we would rather build depth in that way&#8230; [by] giving guys opportunities with experienced guys than just making a total new team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But by saying that, [the Bulls] had Bismarck du Plessis and Morne Steyn in that team who are phenomenal and world-class players. You can&#8217;t ask for more experience than that in any team. I think those two guys can drive a team by themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Stormers host English club London Irish at Cape Town Stadium this weekend and Laker promised his charges would shore up their defence.<\/p>\n<p>The Stormers led 14-3 at half-time against Clermont but defensive lapses saw them fail to score points in the second stanza.<\/p>\n<p>Laker said he expected a slightly different challenge this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One thing that will be completely different is that it won&#8217;t be minus two degrees. Their 12 (Benhard Janse van Rensburg) is a very good rugby player, as well as their left wing (Ollie Hassell-Collins) and fullback (Ben Loader). If they get the ball in space then they can cause damage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But they&#8217;re much more structured than the French team was. The French team gave the ball a bit more air. They had a bit of a hope and pray mentality when giving the ball out to those big Fijians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;London Irish are much more structured. They&#8217;ve got guys who run good lines, good blockage lines and guys who can pass good from the back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, I think it&#8217;s a bit of a different challenge this weekend but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s much different to what we&#8217;ve experienced in the URC. Edinburgh, Connacht are two teams who play similar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One thing that they do well is they keep [possession] of the ball very well, but we&#8217;re looking forward to the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>5 talking points |<\/b> Champions Cup Round 1: Ox red card is harsh, to say the least<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss in France, centre <b>Ruhan Nel<\/b> said they would still take positives from the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t win at the end but to lead 14-3 at half-time [away at Clermont] was a big feather in our cap. We&#8217;ll have a look at how we [should] approach the second half. I think it is a bit of a lapse in concentration. But we&#8217;d rather take lessons from our first match before perhaps learning it later in the playoffs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nel said he was relishing the prospect of facing London Irish.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like us, they like giving the ball some air. So we shouldn&#8217;t play dumb [rugby] by giving possession away easily or kick poorly, or to give them unnecessary turnover possession so they can exploit that space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I&#8217;m looking forward to it, it&#8217;s nice playing against a team that likes to give the ball some air,&#8221; Nel said.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s clash kicks off at 19:30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
