The home team scored three tries in front of their appreciative crowd while the visitors made too many handling errors which prevented them from crossing the line. The Jaguares led 7-3 at halftime.

Matias Orlando, Rodrigo Bruni and Bautista Delguy each dotted down, while Joaquin Diaz Bonilla contributed 12 points with three conversions and two penalties. The Vodacom Bulls’ points came via the boot of Handre Pollard who slotted four penalties.

The Emirates Lions host rivals the Vodacom Bulls in a 15h05 kick off next Saturday while the Jaguares welcome the Blues to Buenos Aires in their late-evening round three encounter.

Scorers:


Jaguares - Tries: Matias Orlando, Rodrigo Bruni, Bautista Delguy; Conversions: Diaz Bonilla (3); Penalties: Bonilla (2).
