Although he knows the visitors are likely to bring what he described as a "stacked" squad, he is anticipating a partisan crowd at Twickenham Stoop to cheer on his side, who lie just inside the eight Pool A qualification places in seventh.

"We want to play with tempo; we want to move them around the field," Matson said, adding that he wants Quins to build on what they achieved in a 30-29 loss at Racing 92 in Round 3, in which they scored three tries plus a penalty try. "There's lots to move forward with."

Having won their other Pool A game at Twickenham Stoop last month, 14-10 against Racing, Matson is hopeful that the home faithful will have even more to cheer this time round.

"I'm excited - always excited with a sold-out Stoop," he commented. "If we get a win there, we're definitely in the hunt for Europe, which is a key goal for us."

Harlequins head coach Tabai Matson couldn't be more excited about facing Cell C Sharks in Round 4 of the Heineken Champions Cup on Saturday as the Gallagher Premiership club bid to qualify for the knockout stages.
