Leeds Rhinos warmed up for this month’s Challenge Cup semi-final against Wigan Warriors with a convincing win at the same opposition in Betfred Women’s Super League today (Sunday).

A dominant second half performance powered Rhinos to a 52-0 victory at Robin Park, after they led only 8-0 at half-time.

All the first half points came in the opening eight minutes, through tries by Ruby Enright and Sophie Robinson.
