Tykes win the battle of top two

The first 20 minutes was a battle of wills with the play taking place between the two 22m lines.

The Tykes edged the phases and possession but were foiled when Rotherham kicked away the turnover ball time and again.

The table-toppers opened the scoring when Jacob Mounsey, who was lively all match, passed to Harry Jukes.

The league’s top try scorer dodged a few defenders to score in the corner.

Pete Lucock’s conversion was successful.

Leeds doubled their points with a smart move from Kieran Davies who spotted a gap between the Rotherham players as the ball exited a line-out. He scored between the posts for Lucock to convert.

Hybrid Hash will tie Borthwick in knots

THE description 'Hybrid Central Contracts' does not inspire confidence. Hybrid usually means a bit of this, and a bit of that — and 'Hybrid Hash' would be a more apt term for the RFU contracts given to 17 England players just before the autumn series slump.
