Odds: 6/5 odds taken 04:54 GMT on April 29th, 2022
There is, mathematically, a way into the top four for either of London Irish or Wasps still this season.
Seeing either one of them do that is quite unlikely at this stage of proceedings.
But this is still set up nicely as a competitive clash in Brentford with just one point separating the two teams in the Premiership Rugby standings.
