Leeds keep pressure on Saints

Behind at the break, the Rhinos produced a tremendous fightback thanks to the outstanding Ali Lauitiiti that ended the French side's seven-match unbeaten run.

Scott Donald's magnificent try capped the display as the Rhinos went back level with Saints.

Leeds opened the scoring thanks to Lee Smith, with Kevin Sinfield scoring the conversion and after Ryan Hall had knocked on around his own 20, Catalans pounced from the scrum, Thomas Bosc and Clint Greenshields sending in Cyril Stacul at the corner.

Five minutes later, Hall was again exposed when McGuire's towering bomb eluded him and Olivier Elima collected to scamper over for another Bosc-converted try.

The Dragons extended their lead in the 25th minute when Sebastien Raguin powered over out wide from Bosc's pass but Leeds cut the gap to 18-10 before the break, Raguin misjudging Danny McGuire's kick to the wing and Hall pouncing to score.

Leeds made the perfect start to the second half in front of a record Dragons attendance of 9,880 as Rob Burrow shot through a gap to score. Kevin Sinfield converted.

Hall made another telling error when knocking on after Catalans had failed to find touch from a penalty and Elima powered through to the posts for his second try, Bosc making it 24-16 but Elima turned to villain in the 53rd minute when he lost the ball on halfway and from the scrum, Burrow found space to send Danny McGuire over.

The Rhinos took the lead for the first time when Sinfield's inside ball freed Lauitiiti to score. Sinfield converted to make it 24-26.

With six minutes left, an innocuous kick on the last tackle from Julien Touxagas found Donald in space and he scampered 70 metres - evading three tacklers - for the try of the game Hall crossed for his second try late on.
