The DHL Stormers have no intention of suppressing their daring attacking nature against Leinster on Saturday.
The 27-21 shock loss to Ospreys in Cape Town last week has been met in some quarters with calls for the Stormers to revert to a more conservative gameplan when they take on eight-time champions Leinster.
“Look, we have spoken about it. That’s who we are,” Laker said. “It’s what makes us different from the other teams. If we take it away from the guys then we are the same as any other team. “One thing that we spoke about, that I wasn’t happy about, was our intensity on defence. Normally we are a well-oiled defensive unit, but we came up in drips and drabs,” Laker said.
