THE PREDICTION

London Irish were thumped 22-42 at home to Northampton Saints last Saturday to make it back-to-back defeats in the Premiership. It seems a huge disservice to their incredible season that they might now miss out on a play-off berth but teams around them, including the Saints, are finding form just at the right time. Travelling Harlequins will be confident of a result here with the likes of Marcus Smith and Alex Dombrandt back in the fold but they have coped well in their absence with four-straight victories in the division against four of the bottom five sides in the table. Backing the visitors to win outright seems a reasonably cautious move here, with a target of -2 a fair risk.
