It’s a crucial penultimate round in the Guinness Premiership weekend, with a couple of clashes that could determine relegation as well as a tussle between Bath and Wasps vying for 4th place.
Can Worcester beat Leeds to give them a glimmer of hope, or will their relegation be confirmed? How will London Irish respond to their surprise home defeat last week? Can Bath upset Lawrence Dallaglio’s St. George’s Day celebrations at Twickenham?
Here are my Premiership predictions for Round 21:
Sale Sharks v Newcastle Falcons: Sale Sharks by 8
Gloucester Rugby v London Irish: Gloucester Rugby by 9
Leicester Tigers v Harlequins: Leicester Tigers by 18
Northampton Saints v Saracens: Northampton Saints by 13
London Wasps v Bath: London Wasps by 11
Leeds Carnegie v Worcester Warriors: Leeds Carnegie by 8
The glorious weather continues and it should be a cracking weekend of rugby. Have a good one!
Would dearly love your Wasps v Bath prediction to be right, however think it is a tad optimistic, I think it will be a very tight game.
Sale by 15
Gloucester by 5
Leicester by 13
Northampton by 6
Bath by 3
Leeds by 11
The Wasps prediction might be a little on the heavy side, but Bath only just beat Northampton’s second string (mostly) during the week.
SportGuru stats suggest about two-thirds are backing Wasps, and the average overall prediction is Wasps by 2 suggesting that you might be right about it being close!
I could really do with a good points haul this week…
Got a sneaking feeling Sarries might pull of a win at FG. Someone’s got to beat them there eventually, right? Of course, I don’t have the balls to put my money where my mouth is and pick against Saints.
