THE PREDICTION
Gloucester’s second string lost 27-21 at Worcester Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup on Wednesday as they focus elsewhere on a promising Premiership campaign. They are just one point behind reigning champions Harlequins after 10 matches played with both sides winning six so far. Travelling Quins are ahead on bonus points as the only Premiership side so far to acquire one from every single match played and that suggests taking them to edge this with a +3 head-start could be a shrewd move as the more explosive side. The hosts are slight favourites but the visitors’ three-match winning streak at Castres and at home to Cardiff and a most recently a stunning defeat of Northampton looks like the cutting edge in a tight encounter here.
