That cut the gap to four points and opened the possibility of a first win this season for the Blues after losses to the Crusaders and the Sharks. They laid siege and their hopes heightened when the Argentines were penalised resulting in a 5m scrum with a Blues put-in at a tense Estadio Jose Amalfitani in Buenos Aires.
“Congratulations to my team for their outstanding defence throughout the match,” said Jaguares skipper and centre Matias Orlando, deputising for injured Jeronimo de la Fuente. Winger Ramiro Moyano scored the only try of the first half after 38 minutes to give his side an 11-9 half-time advantage. There appeared to be little threat to the Blues when the Argentine international received the ball in the middle of the pitch, but his strength and speed took him over in the corner.
