Leeds director of rugby Phil Davies:
We're as pleased as you could be after losing a game of such importance.
We defended really well throughout and showed a high level of commitment. The guys did really well to get back on their feet after conceding early.
It was intimidating, but the atmosphere was great and I'm delighted that some of the younger members of our squad got a chance to experience it.
