THE PREDICTION
Two sides with opening weekend wins behind them meet at the Twickenham Stoop for what should be a really entertaining match on Saturday. Reigning champions Harlequins got the job done by 20-26 away at Newcastle Falcons with some key men missing but new signing Tommaso Allan filling Marcus Smith’s boots brilliantly. Travelling Worcester Warriors beat London Irish 36-24 in a big statement to teams likely to sit in the bottom third of the Premiership on Saturday but this looks a tough ask. Given how well Quins played in a high tempo match in Newcastle, taking the hosts to cover -16 here seems a reasonable conclusion.
