Preview: St
Helens v Harlequins (Round 8)

Unbeaten St Helens will be at full strength with the return of skipper Paul Sculthorpe as they look to complete the double over Harlequins.

Quins lost 40-16 at home to Saints on the opening weekend and have since won only one of six league matches, but they have skipper Mark McLinden back after being plagued with hamstring trouble.

"Their form has been mixed but they are a dangerous team and we're not taking them lightly," said St Helens coach Daniel Anderson.

"McLinden is a very good player for them, we're very much aware of his ability.

"But, because of the depth in our team, players know they can't afford to have an off week."

Full-back Paul Wellens, who scored a hat-trick of tries in Saints' win at the Twickenham Stoop, needs just one more to bring up his career century.
