James took a pass from half-back partner Michael Claassens and crashed in for a 23rd-minute try - but it proved to be an expensive score as he damaged his shoulder powering his way over the line.

"When I was playing it was called a dislocation, but now it's a displacement," said coach Steve Meehan. "It may be midweek before the injury settles down and we know the full extent, but obviously it's a blow. He's been playing very well."
