'I can guarantee that the atmosphere on Saturday will be tremendous. There will be a crowd of over 72,000, England haven't played here before so it will be a bit special, and I'm sure the Welsh will come out and make as much noise as they can.
'We don't plan on going behind, so hopefully we won't even give anyone the opportunity to start giving us stick.
'But they are a good bunch here in Cardiff, they come to support the team - so hope-fully we can give England a good game and make the fans happy.
'Wembley was our home two years ago and the atmosphere was great but it should be even better here in Cardiff.'
Quinnell, at 6ft 3in and almost 19st, is a hard target to miss for some critics - a group which extends beyond the crank letter writers to certain English professionals.
Neil Back, for instance, savaged both Scott and his brother Craig in print, blaming their lack of fitness for Wales' inability to prevent England from putting five tries past them at Twickenham last year.
Back took a different line last week, insisting that the Quinnells and the entire Wales squad had radically improved their fitness.
Asked if he thought the English players were trying to wind him up, Scott responded: 'I suppose they are - but you can only try to ignore it, play your game and do your best.
'There are a lot of mind games out there but you can't be dragged into it.
'I don't get involved in a lot of banter or trying to upset opponents. The game is hard enough without all that.
'I hate criticism, I don't think anybody likes criticism. Some of it has been personal.
'I'm no lighter now, so I can't say anything about my fitness - I haven't changed anything, I'm just enjoying my rugby more.'
Quinnell, like the rest of the Wales forwards, knows that a great deal of responsibility rests in somehow besting the fearsome English pack.
'The English forwards are very powerful, they've gone well over the last three internationals and I don't expect this one to be any different - it will be a good battle,' he said.
'If they see a weakness they are liable to exploit it. But it's always nice to play against the best players in the world - that's what rugby is all about.'
