Match preview

London Irish, a team renowned for high-scoring rollercoaster games, play their final home match of the season against another free-scoring team in Wasps, and all the ingredients are there for a points bonanza.

Irish are out of the playoff picture and Wasps have only the faintest of hopes, so there should be little tension to hold the teams back.

Matches featuring London Irish have been the highest-scoring of any team while their last eight matches have featured totals of eight tries three times, nine tries on another three occasions, plus tallies of seven and 11.

Wasps' last eight have featured totals of seven tries on three occasions and eight tries twice, with the other three games weighing in at ten, six and four.

Scores tend to pick up at the end of the season and with improving weather. Four of this weekend's five matches have already passed the 60-point mark, and there is ample reason to think this clash could go the same way.
