Scarlets 'dreading' Quins' edge

Scarlets head coach Nigel Davies is somewhat apprehensive of the Harlequins' challenge in Saturday's Heineken Cup opener at Stradey Park.
"It's going to be a really tough encounter. I've seen Harlequins and they're playing good rugby," Davies told BBC Sport.
"They have a steely edge about them that they probably haven't had before."
After coming off the back of Sunday's 26-17 EDF Energy Cup win at Saracens, Scarlets can also boast a near to full-strength squad for their Heineken Cup clash on Saturday.
"The win [against Saracens] was really important to us for lots of different reasons," said Davies.
"This competition is something we have targeted and to start with an away win is great.
"But in terms of performance there was a lot missing there. We're a new group of people and there's a lot of work to do.
"In the second half the defence went up a couple of notches - but it needed to," he added.
