The Llanelli Scarlets have named an unchanged team for the return match against Agen, but are sweating on the fitness of Wales lock Chris Wyatt.
The Scarlets pipped the powerful French club 19-15 at Stradey Park last weekend, and director of rugby Gareth Jenkins knows how tough the return leg will be.
"There will be a reversal of roles this weekend," Jenkins said. "The expectation and the pressure is on them - the whole of Agen will be expecting a home result.
"Saturday is a great opportunity for us - this weekend is critical but there is a confidence in our team. If we can go there and win on Saturday it will put us in a great position - but it's a huge ask."
The Scarlets pack is pleased with the way the set pieces went last Friday night, particularly the scrum, but prop John Davies says Agen captain Jean-Jacques Crenca, returning from suspension, will make a big difference.
"He is a top international loosehead and he'll be itching to get back in and impose expertise and authority," Davies said. "It's a difficult challenge."
Llanelli Scarlets: B Davies; G Evans, M Taylor, M Watkins, S Finau; S Jones, 9 D Peel; I Thomas, R McBryde, J Davies, V Cooper (capt), C Wyatt, D Jones, S Easterby, S Quinnell.
Replacements: P John, A Gravelle, A N Other, D Hodges, M Phillips, G Bowen, M Jones.
