THE PREDICTION

London Irish lost in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals in the match before last and that looks to have spoiled their strong Premiership work of late as they lost 44-26 at Northampton Saints last Friday. The Exiles now turn hosts in Brentford where they have enjoyed a strong record and this looks like another hefty score-line. Travelling Quins thrashed rock-bottom Worcester 50-26 last Saturday and they could leapfrog reigning champions Exeter Chiefs with a win here as they continue to play the role of dark horses this season. Irish will have plenty to contribute to the score in this match but Harlequins come with real momentum and the away side to win a match that goes over 40 points looks a reasonable outcome here.
