The Exiles will be getting a nose-bleed from the high altitude of third place after snatching a draw at Bristol, but if they want to stay there they must win tight calls like this one. Newcastle are a dangerous side, but the Exiles can kick on.
VERDICT: IRISH JUST MAKE IT

Tickets: £10-35, concs £5.
Former Aussie star Tim Horan made England?s tarnished golden boy Iain Balshaw look silly last week to claim the points for Saracens, but he can?t do much without the ball and Sarries have lost yet another prop this week. Chief executive Francois Pienaar must be tearing his hair out. To make matters worse, Northampton are mean in defence.
VERDICT: SARACENS FALL SHORT

Tel: 01344 424013.
Tickets: from £8.
Bracknell weren?t helped by the conditions against Manchester last week, but they must also learn to concentrate and, to use the cliche, turn pressure into points. Birmingham are confident after stuffing Otley, but Bracknell can win this.
VERDICT: BRACKNELL HANG ON

Tel: 02476 601174.
Tickets: standing £8, seats £10.
Coventry joined the list of clubs dismantled by Rotherham last week, while the Welsh scrambled past Wakefield. The Welsh seem to be significantly tighter on defence, however, and that could tell the tale on a difficult trip to the Midlands.
VERDICT: WELSH TOUGH IT OUT

Tel: 01943 850142.
Tickets: £8.
Henley are reeling from disaster to disaster at the moment, and now face a long road trip to Otley. Still, Henley are better than their terrible record seems to show and this could be the time to redeem themselves.
VERDICT: HENLEY SURPRISE

Tel: 01932 220295.
Tickets: £5.
Results in this division are such a mish-mash that it is almost impossible to spot a trend, but Esher will happily take on Fylde on the back of their 50-15 domination of Waterloo.
VERDICT: ESHER ROLL ON
