Llanelli Scarlets coach Nigel Davies has sent out a firm warning to Wasps ahead of their crunch Heineken Cup showdown, promising that his team are ready to raise their game come Saturday.

Both sides go into the match knowing that defeat realistically rules out their chances of qualification to the tournament's knockout stages.

Davies' men have been inconsistent at best so far this season, but he insists that his side will produce their top form against the English champions at Stradey Park.

"We have put some good rugby together this year but in our last two home games, against Edinburgh in the Heineken and then against Sale at the weekend, we have not played at all well. We have under performed in those games but still won," explained the Llanelli boss.

"By contrast we have played some superb stuff on the road, such as at Munster, and lost. We need to put both those elements together against Wasps.

"It is very difficult to pinpoint any weaknesses in their side and I have a huge respect for their rush defence, which they do so very well, and their ability to break up the game across the park.

"As far as I am concerned, we have to step up tenfold on the performances of our last two home games - and I am determined we will do just that. You will see a completely different side on Sunday."

The Scarlets are likely to be boosted by the presence of Dwayne Peel (pictured right) in their starting line-up against Wasps, after the Lions scrum half successfully came through a substitute appearance against Sale Sharks.
