Leeds completely bossed the first forty, with tries from Lee Smith, Scott Donald and Ryan Hall helping with the 22-0 first half score. Celtic coach John Dixon will have been encouraged by the much improved performance by his side in the second period. But a try from Carl Ablett ensured that it would be the World Club Champions night.

Leedsrhinos.biz will be publishing a more detailed report on Saturday evening with exclusive interview quotes from Brian McClennan and Matt Diskin. You can also listen to the interviews in full (Bluey's View and Matt Diskin interview) via our new TV service, which will be launching soon.
