THE PREDICTION
Reigning Premiership champions Harlequins beat struggling Worcester Warriors 21-29 on the road last Friday to make it back-to-back victories and put a three-match losing streak behind them. They have the opportunity to move above Saracens into second place of the Premiership in this Friday night fixture against a side hovering just above Worcester, with Newcastle Falcons languishing in 11th place after losing their fifth match across all competitions 25-30 at home to rock-bottom Bath. The visitors’ last league win was a shock 14-15 victory at Exeter way back in early November, with just two victories in the Challenge Cup since then. This looks a tough trip out for the visitors, with a loss at Bristol by a margin of 14 points in their previous away game suggesting Quins can cover at least -10 here.
