THE PREDICTION
A lack of relegation from this season’s Premiership makes Worcester Warriors’ 66-10 hammering at Northampton Saints less of a concern but equally more of an embarassment. They have lost each of their last three matches by a margin of at least -37 and that makes taking visiting Sale Sharks to cover an astronomical amount look a tempting option here. Sale are a tough team to pin down now with a 19-11 loss at league leaders Leicester Tigers last Saturday coming just a week after they became the first, and only side so far, to beat the reigning champions Harlequins. The visitors will sorely miss their star man Faf de Klerk for some time yet but taking them to cover -15 looks an achievable target against their woeful hosts.
