Scrum-half comes through A team clash unscathed

England scrum-half Danny Care has given unbeaten Harlequins a boost ahead of their Heineken Cup opener against Connacht. Care missed the World Cup, as well as Harlequins' storming start to the season, after breaking his toe while training with England. However having come off the bench on Saturday in the 26-13 win over Bath, the 24-year-old came through Monday's A team encounter against Gloucester unscathed. Care scored Quins' second try in the 44-13 win at the Stoop before being replaced at half-time - with one eye on Friday's Pool Six clash. Care will now be pushing Karl Dickson hard in selection for the No.9 shirt against Connacht.
