THE PREDICTION
Harlequins were knocked out of the last 16 of the Challenge Cup as part of an unfortunate early meeting with Ulster, losing 14-57 at home in a disappointing defeat. They will have had a week to put that behind them and recover and have been handed a useful, winnable first fixture back in the Premiership with which to mount a last push. Quins were fourth in the Premiership before this weekend’s games and face a struggling Worcester at the foot of the table, though without the threat of relegation this season. The only match Worcester have won whilst on the field this campaign was on the first day and they look ready for the season to be over as soon as possible now. take Harlequins to bounce back from their European exit by covering -14 here.
