Gavin Henson sees red at Stradey Park during his Swansea days

The Ospreys star has a troubled history with the Stradey Park side, seeing red in a violent encounter when playing for Swansea against Llanelli in 2002.

In his book, Henson criticised Dafydd James and says he laughed when another Scarlets back, Garan Evans, was chosen ahead of him for the 2003 World Cup.

"We've moved on," Scarlets director of rugby Gareth Jenkins told BBC Sport.

Composure and control on the field is going to be the key to victory Gareth Jenkins

"The incidents were a media frenzy at the time, but what's done is done and our concern is getting the result we need.

"Gavin is one of 15 players we are worried about and I can honestly say he has not received any special attention in our planning for this game.

"Composure and control on the field is going to be the key to victory.

"Intensity, aggression and physicality will always be there, but it's about playing the game."

Jenkins hopeful of Wales chance

The highly anticipated Llanelli game is a sell out and Jenkins expects a fantastic occasion.

"It's great that every ticket's gone, it proves the appetite for this sort of game in west Wales," he said.

"Everyone's been waiting a long time for this, the Ospreys are as passionate about it as us.

We can still win the league, but we need to win every game Gareth Jenkins

"We've analysed their win against Edinburgh last week, they had their internationals back and looked a lot more like the team that won the Celtic League last year.

"Our concern is the long break we've had - the game is about growing performances and we've had just two matches in eight weeks.

"People have asked us whether our focus is on next week's Powergen Cup final, but I can assure them that our priority is all about Friday.

"We can still win the league, but we need to win every game and the Ospreys are next up."
