THE PREDICTION
Both London Irish and Worcester Warriors are making wholesale changes for this match due to the quick turnaround from their midweek games. Both have been struggling for form and motivation since the resumption of play but it is Worcester who have shown greater desire in their performances. It is difficult to compare performances but London Irish were comprehensively beaten by Harlequins in midweek – a team that the Warriors beat just a couple of weeks ago themselves. Irish were winning that game 15-10 at half-time but they failed they lost the second half by a scoreline of 28-0 to lose 38-15. That will not help their confidence at all and another loss here against this determined Warriors side will dent it even further.
