Millennium Stadium, Sunday
FEATHERSTONE ran in four tries in claiming an impressive win over their Super League visitors.
James Ford’s reshaped side built the victory on character, resilience and toughness, overcoming underwhelming Huddersfield in emphatic fashion.
Rovers had been decimated by illness in the camp and were able to muster only 16 players.
But they looked the more energetic and tenacious throughout the contest and withstood an avalanche of pressure, particularly in the second half, to restrict the Giants to just one try, scoring four themselves.
