THE PREDICTION
These sides fared wildly differently in the Challenge Cup last weekend as in-form Gloucester put 10 tries past Top 14 minnows Perpignan whilst Newcastle Falcons had to concede their game due to another covid-19 outbreak. Hold off on this match until it is clear that Newcastle will be able to field a full squad one week on but with some absences likely this looks a tough day at home. Gloucester grabbed a first win at Saracens in nine attempts at the start of the month and that looks form enough to cover a pretty healthy -5 if this match goes ahead.
