The Rhinos have not won any of their last five games

Ipswich Rhinos put up a brave fight before losing 38-28 at RL Conference leaders West London Sharks on Saturday.

The defeat leaves the Rhinos fifth in the Premier Division South table with just two games of the season to go.

Adam Cook was named man of the match after he scored three tries while Peter LeMarquand successfully kicked four of his five conversions.

The Rhinos now need to win their last two matches to stand any chance of landing a play-off place.

Their next game is at home to bottom club Elmbridge on July 19 before a trip to London Skolars the following weekend.
