Hello and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Super League round nine clash between Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR. The table-topping Robins have a tough night ahead of them as they make the trip to Headingley to take on Brad Arthur's Rhinos, who come into this game off the back of three wins in four games.
Rovers have only lost once all season but this feels like a big game tonight, with Leeds desperate to prove they are the contenders many within the club believe they are this season. Rovers come without some key players too and after two derbies and Wigan games been and gone, backing up again will be tricky.
As ever, we are your eyes and ears before, during and after the game.
FULL TIME
Rovers have done it! They've come from 14-6 down and with a man sent off to beat Leeds Rhinos 20-14, who had Ash Handley red carded late on too.
Rovers retrieve the short kick-off.
Lewis kicks on the last. Miller takes. Leeds on their own 20. 2:58 to play.
GIVEN
Wow. What a fightback from Rovers. Mourgue converts in front of the sticks. 14-20, 4:37 to play.
TRY - Mikey Lewis wins i!
OH MY GOD. Rovers have gone ahead! Sensational try finished off by Mikey Lewis! A game littered in controversy is going the way of the Robins with less than five minutes to play!
TRY!
Rovers are in and its bedlam in the Rovers end. James Batchelor has crossed in the corner and that will bring the game level. It's going to the video ref to check the grounding.
Penalty Rovers
Mourgue caught late by Handley. And high. Is he going to be carded? He's been called by the ref.
Apologies
Rovers contested it, they thought it should be a drop out and not a seven-tackle set. Challenge unsuccessful. 10 to go and Leeds still lead 14-10.
Drop out
Or is it? Connor claims he caught it in the in-goal. We have a captain's challenge.
40/20
That's delightful from Lewis. Right in the pocket, giving Miller no chance. Here come the Robins with 11 minutes to go.
TRY - Jack Broadbent
Rovers aren't giving this up without a fight. Whitbread bursts through after Lewis' pass and the ball finds its way to the corner where Broadbent scores in the corner. Back in it now. Conversion missed. 14-10.
Try Leeds?
Think Tyrone May has flicked this forward contesting a kick but we'll see. No try given on field.
Sue will go to the bin here I think
Lisone is falling but catches him with his shoulder to the head.
Leeds' second try
Fantastic team effort this. And Leeds have just won a penalty for a high tackle on Lisone. They'll take two.

Turnover
Lewis skips away from a man of the last but is caught with the ball eventually. Should have gone then.
Play resumes
24 minutes to go. Leeds just look to be tiring slightly here. Rovers look fairly energetic in return. They need to just stick to their guns here.
Turnover
On the last, Minchella pokes his most through and tips on to Sue, but Leeds scramble and deal with it.
Good take Newman
Redeems himself with a good kick take and return with the ball. Rovers trying to contain Leeds but they're on their own 40 after four tackles... but Watkins offloads and O'Connor drops it. Rovers with another good set incoming
