Newcastle Form

Newcastle are rock bottom of the Rugby Premiership having lost all 10 matches to date. They have a -174 points difference and only four points on the board.

It will take a minor miracle for the Falcons to not finish last considering that they are already 12 points off Gloucester, the team above them. Not only have Newcastle lost 10 league games, but they have also lost both games in Europe.

Over the last two weeks, Newcastle went down 21-13 at home to Bristol before losing 37-19 at Saracens in their last outing.

The Falcons won’t be resting players, but they may as well make some changes as it can’t get much worse for them.

Harlequins Form

Harlequins are having a decent season, albeit inconsistent. They are sixth on the table with six wins and four defeats from their 10 games.

While the Quins remain an exciting team to watch, they have allowed the inconsistency to get into their game. Their last two Premiership games over the festive period has seen them lose 25-17 at Bath and beat Gloucester 32-26 at home.

Quins will see this as a chance to get maximum points while resting one or two key players ahead of big European fixtures over the next two weeks.

Verdict

Newcastle Falcons v Harlequins

Harlequins are backed to win by more than six points.
