THE PREDICTION
Toulon just edged out away-specialists London Irish 19-18 last Sunday to maintain a four-match winning streak across all competitions. Their only defeat in eight came in a dead rubber away at Biarritz in the Challenge Cup group stages and they will back themselves to cause the upset here at home in the form of their season. Travelling Saracens will have other ideas after exerting their dominance in this tournament with a 15-44 thumping of fellow Premiership side Gloucester last Friday. Sarries are six matches unbeaten across all competitions - nine matches discounting the Premiership Rugby Cup - and they remain the title favourites for a reason. Back the visitors outright cautiously here or to cover as much as -8 in a statement of intent.
