THE PREDICTION

With no relegation this season and the Challenge Cup guaranteed there is little for Worcester Warriors to play for with three games remaining but pride, though returning limited fans to Sixways should help with motivation. The Warriors have come close in a few defeats recently to Sale and, last time out, Wasps but it seems unlikely that they will grab a fourth win this season in this form. Visiting Leicester Tigers will keep one eye on Harlequins’ slightly earlier game on Saturday as they can just about still qualify for the play-offs mathematically but their main focus will be Champions Cup qualification following their heartbreak in the Challenge Cup final last Saturday. A 17-18 loss to Montpellier will be tough to take but the progress this season will be heartening indeed and they should have enough to beat rock-bottom Worcester outright here no matter their mood.
