Agence France-PresseMay 20, 2013 17:30

Anthony Laffranchi's opportunistic second-half try proved crucial as St Helens sealed a fine comeback 30-22 Super League victory at the Leeds Rhinos on Monday. The former Australian international scooped up the loose ball and grounded it over the try line after a fumble from Leeds full back Zak Hardaker as he tried to wriggle out of the in-goal area under heavy Saints pressure. Leeds, the defending Super League champions, had earlier raced into a 16-0 lead in the opening stages as Kallum Watkins, Joel Moon and Rob Burrow all crossed.

Warrington Wolves head coach Tony Smith hailed the return of Lee Briers as the Challenge Cup holders dismantled Salford 52-6 in their fifth round tie at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. Former Canberra Raider Joel Monaghan crossed twice for Warrington as did Stefan Ratchford, while Brett Hodgson finished with an 18-point haul. But it was the return of Briers, who has been out of action since February with neck and calf injuries, that delighted Smith.

RugbyL: Storm loss leaves Rabbitohs on top of NRL

Agence France-PresseMay 12, 2013 07:15

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are the outright leaders of Australia's National Rugby League after champions Melbourne Storm's second straight loss threw the title race wide open on Sunday. World Club champions Melbourne, who lost their unbeaten 15-match run last week to Canberra, could not overcome a 12-0 half-time deficit and fell to the lowly Penrith Panthers 12-10 at Penrith on Sunday. That loss left the Rabbitohs on top of the league after their 28-10 victory over Johnathan Thurston's North Queensland Cowboys on Friday.
