Two key figures in that area will be Glasgow's Chris Fusaro and former-Warrior John Barclay who skippers Scarlets this evening. Both players will be keen to show what they can do after missing out on involvement in Scotland's Autumn Tests.
Peter, who starts at stand-off this evening, told the Scotsman: "I don’t think there is much doubt it will be a bit of a dogfight at the breakdown between Fuzzy [Fusaro] and John Barclay, and who comes out on top could go a long way to deciding the outcome of the game.
“John was just immense to play alongside and he has been in fantastic form for the Scarlets, as has Fuzzy for us and I guess both guys may feel a bit hard done by they are not involved with Scotland.
“So it’s a contest I am really looking forward to but as a team we are going to have to make sure we do everything correctly. This is a real opportunity for boys like Ali Price, who is making his debut at nine for us, and Zander Fagerson, who is making his first start for us and they will want to lay down a marker. But we are under no illusion as to how tough it will be.”
With two youngsters in such important positions the return club captain Alastair Kellock after his stint with the Barbarians could not be better timed.
“In the past at this time of the season we would not have had Al available to us so it is a huge plus to have his leadership on hand and I will certainly be making the most of it,” said Peter.
“He is a rock for us and when you go to places like Parc y Scarlets then you want your skipper in the side and leading from the front. But, personally, this is another great opportunity for me at 10 and I am determined to make the most of it.
“We know that Scarlets have been going well and will be one of our main rivals for a place in the play-offs and this is a big game in that regard.”
