Scarlets pack is O’Connell’s main concern

PAUL O’CONNELL warned his squad not to limit their focus on Llanelli Scarlets’ World Cup players for tomorrow’s Heineken Cup clash.

The skipper is wary of the threat posed by Welsh stars Rhys Priestland and walking wounded George North and Jonathan Davies, following their exploits in New Zealand but has highlighted the ability of the Scarlets pack, where Irish flanker Simon Easterby leads the charge, as his biggest cause of concern.

“Obviously you have guys like Priestland, Davies and North which will give us something to focus on; they were probably the stars for Wales in the World Cup,” he said.
