AUSTIN HAS THE POWER

Giants lose it as Blake keeps Rhinos’ play-off dreams alive

- DAVE CRAVEN

Leeds 18

Hudd’field 14

BLAKE AUSTIN rode to the rescue for Leeds with a late winner.

Giants led 14-12 in the dying stages after Olly Russell’s penalty.

But Chris Hill was yellow-carded for a challenge on Richie Myler in the 76th minute and the Rhinos immediately took advantage when Austin raced in to secure a sixth straight win.

Huddersfield’s Joe Greenwood was sin-binned in the final seconds for a bad challenge on Austin.

Giants scrum-half Russell missed his first four attempts at goal and it proved the difference. He had revealed before the game he was a big Leeds fan as a kid and idolised Kevin Sinfield.
