THE PREDICTION
London Irish enjoyed a 14-42 romp away at struggling Newcastle Falcons last Friday to keep their play-off ambitions alive in the Premiership. The Exiles have been better on their travels for large parts of this season as the surprise packages of the division but they face another side keen on upsetting the odds on the road in Wasps, who have won their last three away across all competitions. Wasps beat struggling Worcester 41-12 last Saturday to make it six wins on the spin and this looks a seriously tough call between probably the most unpredictable sides in the division. Backing hosts Irish with a hefty +4 head-start is not the concession it seems but it would not be a surprise to see Wasps smash and grab here. Leave this match out of any promising accumulators.
