Edwards well aware of Leinster threat

Edwards' team head to the Emerald Isle fresh from a confidence-building Pool Two victory over Castres, while Leinster underlined their quality by producing a blistering first-half display that ran Murrayfield hosts Edinburgh ragged and confirmed the reigning Magners League champions' European title credentials.
"Going to Dublin to face Leinster is going to be very difficult, offensively," said Edwards. "Leinster are very strong behind the scrum with an all-international back line. They have also added to their forward power by signing CJ van der Linde and Rocky Elsom. They are the complete package at the moment."
While Wasps were steady, rather than spectacular, against Castres, Edwards saw enough to suggest the Londoners can move on in optimistic fashion.
He added: "The last time we won the Heineken Cup, we played Castres in the first game and we were hoping for a four-try victory.
"On that occasion we won a tight game, so a win is a win as far as I am concerned. There are a lot of things we can now build on."
