THE PREDICTION

London Irish have lost five Premiership games in a row now as their season tails off drastically but they came so close to snapping that last time out, losing 30-28 at Gloucester. The Exiles travel to Bristol in their last game of the season so realistically only have one last game to target a win and their fans could pull them over the line here against struggling Wasps. The visitors have been tough to pin down all season form-wise but they too will be targeting this match as a winnable one, though they have lost their last three on the road. Irish look like the slight favourites for this tight clash but Wasps came very close indeed last time out and taking them as outright winners could be a shrewd move here.
