Doubles from Thomas Bosc and Krisnan Inu helped Catalans Dragons to a shock 46-16 demolition of Leeds Rhinos in the Super League Super 8s this evening.
The hosts dominated the match from the first minute, and secured an 18-0 half-time lead thanks to three quick tries from stalwart Bosc, Inu and Todd Carney.
Catalans added to their lead after the break as Bosc scored his second of the evening, before Inu and Jordan Sigismeau scored twice in just three minutes.
The Rhinos finally got on the scoresheet through Ryan Hall on 62 minutes, but a Jeff Lima try minutes later ended any faint hopes of a comeback from the Challenge Cup winners.
Tries from Danny Maguire under the sticks and Joel Moon in the corner either side of an Elliot Whitehead try gave the travelling Leeds fans something to cheer, but the side returns to Yorkshire after a second defeat in two games.
Leeds will take on Castleford Tigers on Thursday.
