RUGBY LEAGUE

SUPER LEAGUE champions Leeds produced a dazzling second half to end St Helens’ 100 per cent record. Matt Parcell’s brilliant individual try eight minutes from the end sealed a 28-20 victory that was something of a statement from Brian McDermott’s side last night. Saints had led 12-6 just before half-time but Richie Myler finished a flowing move to bring the scores level. And Rhinos maintained the intensity of their play with 22-year-old winger Ash Handley twice arriving in the right place to score his first two tries of the campaign. Ben Barba finished a break to give Saints hope, but then Parcell stepped forward to wrap up the victory.
