The Catalans Dragons have scored eight tries in a convincing 44-26 win over the Castleford Tigers in the Super League.
The hosts got off to a fast start as tries from Tony Gigot and Zeb Taia gave them a clear lead after just nine minutes, and that was further extended by Jeff Lima and Thomas Bosc.
Justin Carney replied for the Tigers, but Morgan Escare scored the Dragons fifth try on the brink of half time.
Oliver Holmes hit back for the Tigers again, but Gigot added his second three minutes later.
Hooker Adam Milner scored a third for the Tigers before Gigot completed his hat-trick, but Julian Moores set up a thrilling finale with a Tigers try 10 minutes before the end.
However, Escare scored again two minutes later and, although Milner grabbed his second, the Dragons held on to win.
