New Zealand Demolish the Leeds Rhinos In World Cup Warm Up
New Zealand warmed up for the World Cup with a Bartercard International Challenge against Super League Grand Finalists Leeds Rhinos at Emerald Headingley.
The two sides last met in 2015 as a warmup before New Zealand played a three match test series against England. On that occasion the Kiwis ran out as 34-16 winners after leading by 10-6 at the interval. On the score board for Leeds were Joel Moon with two tries and Tom Briscoe with Jordan Lilley kicking two goals.
The bookies had given the Rhinos, and their returning guests, a twenty-four point start on the handicap coupon, even without a host of Grand Finalists who were rested ahead of the opening World Cup fixture.

What an utterly embarassing score that was.
What was the point of putting a mid table team up against the world cup second favourites? Neither team gains. Even St Helens who would be missing about 12 of their first 13 due to World Cup call ups and injuries would have done better
