Super Six for Super Jaguares in Super Rugby

The Jaquares made history in beating the Sharks for the first time and also continued their history-making season with a sixth successive Super Rugby win. The Jaguares won 29-13 in a four try to one bonus-point triumph.

The win, following the thumping of the Bulls a week ago, means the Argentine franchise have now beaten two Australian, two New Zealand and two South African teams in six successive matches.

The win also consolidates the Jaguares second-place standing in the South African Conference, just two league points behind the Lions.
