COACHES Ian Lomax and Mike Bennett shuffled their pack of cards for this trip to Odsal playing many players in positions slightly unfamiliar to them. But it didn’t make a ha’porth of difference as the Saints ran in eight tries to win 44-10
The match was over as a contest by the break as the Saints led 18 – 4.
Five more tries in the second half merely stamped the Saints authority on proceedings in what was a thoroughly professional display.
