The Rhinos defence had to withstand some late pressure

The Ipswich Rhinos beat St Albans Centurions 30-26 on Saturday to move to the top of the NRL Conference Premier Division South.

Adam Cook and Lee Clasby both scored two tries for the Rhinos with Rod Arbon and James Goldring also touching down.

Pete LeMarquand successfully kicked three of his six conversions.

The Suffolk side - whose next game is against second placed West London Sharks on 24 May - have won all three of their matches so far this season.
