Sunderland cut loose

Despite a disjointed performance, the lads eased passed Horden in a feisty affair. Horden's number 8 was sin binned for a dump tackle, in a game with a typically high penalty count. Chris Rochelle nabbed a try and the extras, James Marshall ducked under a tackle to touch down under the posts, while Thomas Hales grabbed his 2nd in two games. Newcomer Zach Tivnen dotted down for his first, while rampaging lock Jack Howell bagged a brace. Half back Adam Sheils slotted two conversions.
