I fancy Worcester to take this. Home advantage counts for little at the moment and event less when you consider Irish are not actually at ‘home’.

Worcester just seem to have a bit more quality across the team and I fancy their pack to be on top.

I'd agree with that, plus Worcester always seem to be more than the sum of their parts.

I think Worcester have been a bit exposed for depth with the games coming thick and fast, but in a regular season, their squad is competitive. Also, all the international players are available right now which isn’t always the case in the Premiership.

With the exception of Heward, every one of the starters is an experienced Premiership player and Hougaard and Hill are among the best in the league in their respective positions. Irish have a bit more of a mix of former internationals like Phipps and Jackson combined with inexperienced kids.

Good win for Wuss.
From the highlights, Lawrence took his 2 tries very smartly and set up another one with a terrific break.

Yeah Lawrence looks pretty handy. Yet another 13 mind you
