Easterby fit for Scarlets' Heineken Cup clash

Ireland flanker and Llaneli captain Simon Easterby has been passed fit to take his place as The Scarlets captain for their mouth-watering Heineken cup kick-off at home to Toulouse on Friday night.

"We've been carrying a few injuries and our form has not been the best but the Heineken Cup is totally different and we have a proud tradition in this tournament," he said.

"Challenges don't get much bigger than Toulouse but hopefully this game can kick-start our season."
