Not far off a full strength NotNots side and the backs look very dangerous, but their pack is very second rate when compared man-for-man. If Saints can target Lamb and force Malone into the game, that'll leave Irish with an under-strength pack and no rudder for the backs. Then once Reihana and Mercey are introduced I can see Saints taking the game well away from them.
I sport-Gurued Saints by 4, I'm half tempted to wish I'd doubled that margin.*
*Assuming Saints don't implode and play like a bunch of muppets
