Kallum Watkins looked back to his best as Leeds claim back-to-back victories over the Super League's top two

Leeds continued their late-season revival with a fourth win in five matches to halt Wigan's eight-game winning run with an 18-16 victory.

The Rhinos, who have rediscovered their form too late to climb out of the bottom four, knocked Hull off the top of the Super League table a week ago but helped them reclaim the spot by defeating their nearest rivals in a tense Grand Final re-match at Headingley.

The reigning champions looked to have the game sewn up when they led 18-4 after 65 minutes but they were forced to withstand a late rally from their visitors before clinching a victory that lifts them off the bottom of the table.
