I'm disappointed teams named after animals don't model their jerseys off the animal... Imagine a Cheetas vs Jaguar jersey clash!

Also, Jaguares by 30

Jaguares a point in front with 10 to go. Cheetahs have been second rate but Jaguares have been very ill-disciplined and I suspect some will end up in front of the citing commissioner. Jaguares too prone to throw the impossible pass rather than go to ground and reset. There have been some cracking tries though.

 

[Hawko]

Jaguares by a point!

 

[Marcelo]

Finally the Jaguares come back from hell and beat the Cheetahs 34-33

Just watched this game. I really enjoyed it despite the poor discipline. The running rugby from both sides was highly entertaining. The game had everything long range tries, intercept try, a try resulting from a chip kick, grubber kicks, flick passes, turnovers at the breakdown particularly by the Jaguares and a drop goal.

The Cheetahs scrum was surprisingly dominant.

Jaguares were lucky not to be down to 12 at stage. Lavanini led with his knees as one of the Cheetahs scored in the corner. Thankfully his knees didn't make any significant contact. If they did he would have joined Sanchez and Landajo on the sideline for a period.

Well done Jaguares on winning your first game. Will definitely do a lot of damage in the competition.

Cheetahs scored an intercept try and then, when the Jaguars were down to 14 men a penalty try (foul play not from a scrum), and then 2 more tries while the Jaguars had 13 players, and still couldn't win.

 

[TOCC]

Very ill disciplined Jaguares side, they should have had 3 YC's when their lock landed his knee into the back of a tryscorer.

Understand it was their first game and they wanted to announce their arrival but they're going to struggle at the judiciary if they keep that sort of behaviour up.

Yep, it was a mixed bag, the Cheetahs played like they so often do, exciting but smoehow snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The Jaguares showed they have the players to beat any team, 21 test players from the RWC is a formidable line up, but they also showed they still struggle with the discipline required at this level. Another side would have closed the game out while they were down to 13 men. Still its pretty obvious they will win a lot of games this season, its never easy to grind a win out, playing away in SA.

 

[TOCC]

Jaguares lock Tomas Lavanini has been cited, he was the player I referenced above for striking a player after he has scored a try. He lead with his knee Into the side/ribs of a player who had already grounded the ball for a try.

I'm going to take a stab at the SANZAAR lottery and say 3week ban.

I don't know how he escaped a YC for that.........

 

[Highlander35]

Should the kick to the head not have been a straight red? Can't help but feel rewatching it that he got off lightly.
