Atkins scored the final try of the match for the visiting Australian squad to push the final margin out to 34-4 at the new Emerald Headingley stadium.

NSW were able to secure victory with ease despite giving up the first points of the match and having a player sent to the sin bin in the second half.

Leeds took the early advantage when centre Coby Nichol charged through a hole in the NSW defence but after an error they let the visitors level the scores through Forbes talent Jack Hartwig.

A try to Phoenix Vetenibua-Finnerty put the NSW boys ahead for the first time in the match, and a conversion to Tyrone Roberts made it 10-4.

Possession remained even throughout the half but it was the country team creating the better chances.

NSW's Liam Tindall intercepted the ball just as Leeds looked like scoring, though an error denied him the chance to score a try of his own.

Roberts also came close to scoring off the back of an error to the home side but the Leeds defence scrambled to prevent the try.
