| Betting Verdict |
5.5 pts Sale (-14) to win at 10/11 (Paddy Power)
Newcastle have been very poor since these two last met and still have a lengthy injury list. With Nick Walshe and Charlie Hodgson starting for the Sharks, they should create plenty of opportunities, especially as Jonny Wilkinson is doubtful. The Falcons lost by 20 against London Irish last week, and visiting Heywood Road on a Friday evening is a far tougher prospect than that.
3 pts Bristol (+4) to win at 5/6 (Totebetxpress)
The Shoguns have won their last two away games and have been steadily climbing the table. Quins have been struggling and have some injuries.
3 pts London Irish (+14) to win at 5/6 (Totebetxpress)
Northampton have struggled without key players and this time they are without Dawson, Blowers, and Connors. Irish recently beat Leicester at home and were unlucky to lose at Gloucester. They look good value here.
