OUR attitude will be key in Bucharest tomorrow and there is no danger of us underestimating our hosts.

Earlier this week the management team put up the Wolves' recent European results and that emphasised how tough it will be out there.

Stade Francais only won 13-9 there in October while Brive, Newcastle and Worcester have all had to work hard for narrow wins and Agen lost 25-22 two years ago.

Our scrum coach Bruce Douglas was loosehead for Worcester when they won 24-13 in 2011 and said that they went there thinking of a bonus-point win and ended up sneaking home.

We can't do the same and we will give Bucharest plenty of respect because they have plenty of Romania internationals in their side. They will have a strong tight five, a good elusive fly-half and an inside centre who kicks brilliantly.

The aim will be to do a professional job, testing them in all areas and we also have to play positively rather than getting dragged into their sort of a game. We have to move their heavy pack around and need fly-half Jason Tovey and full-back Rhys Jones to bring their kicking boots.

They had them on last Sunday in Glasgow and while it was disappointing to suffer another defeat I felt that we were good value for a losing bonus point.

It was a performance that shows what we are capable of because the Warriors are a tough team that will be in the mix for the title but they were pleased to just get the ball off the pitch at the final whistle for a 19-15 win when they probably headed into the game eyeing a bonus point.

There has been a pretty swift turnaround this week and the lengthy travel to Romania has left the coaches with a balancing act because there is a fine line between being well-prepared and not being fresh for the game.

There are times when you need to train and rep things but it can take a lot out of the squad and there is the danger of going into the game over-cooked.

The balance has been good we have done lots of video analysis and a bit of a team run at Rodney Parade last night before travelling to London for this morning's flight to Bucharest.

The plan is to head to the Stadium Arcul de Triumf to familiarise ourselves with the surroundings and get used to the conditions. That takes the shock factor of going to a new ground out of the equation and we did the same at Mogliano, where we were greeted by mountains of snow by the side of the pitch.

It's quite a trek out to Bucharest but it's good to know that we will have a small band of loyal supporters backing us out there.

I am told that a fair few have organised trips and among the travelling fans will be my neighbour, John Graham, who will be celebrating his 60th birthday in a 18-strong party.

We always appreciate the support and hopefully we will give them plenty to cheer in Bucharest and then repeat the trick in front of those of you who aren't travelling in next Friday's return fixture.
