THE PREDICTION
London Irish grabbed an important win last week 21-20 against Edinburgh, not only taking them top of Pool C but bouncing back immediately from a first defeat in six across all competitions 38-30 at Wasps. The Exiles held Saracens to a stunning 34-34 draw at the start of that run back in November and they have not looked back since in wins across three competitions. Sarries will be eager to put their plucky visitors down here and if they wish to proceed in the Challenge Cup nothing less than a bonus-point win will do. Irish are scoring well but conceding enough to suggest the hosts can cover a cautious -10 in victory here.
