Jaguares catch out Brumbies in Canberra
The Jaguares made it two wins from two on Australian soil in Super Rugby this season with a 25-20 triumph over the Brumbies in Canberra.
Both sides scored three tries apiece but Nicolas Sanchez's boot made sure the visitors - who had recorded a 25-22 win over the Rebels in the last round - moved above the Stormers and off the foot of the South African Conference.
The fly-half also had a hand in the game's opening try, as his offload allowed Matias Orlando to plunge over in the fifth minute at GIO Stadium.
Sanchez added the extras and was also on target with a pair of first-half penalties, putting the Jaguares 13-0 ahead in the early stages.
Tom Banks darted over to get the Brumbies on the board in the 35th minute, before the full-back capitalised on a grubber kick by Wharenui Hawera to make it 13-10 at the break.
The hosts were given a further boost when Emiliano Boffelli was sin-binned early in the second half for taking out Henry Speight in the air, yet it was the Jaguares who crucially scored next thanks to Jeronimo de la Fuente's converted try.
Chance Peni's close-range finish, with Hawera successfully converting, cut the gap back down to three, but Boffelli made amends for his earlier indiscretion by touching down nine minutes from the end.
After a lengthy break due to an injury to Ramiro Moyano, who was taken from the field on a cart in a neck brace, Hawera slotted over a late penalty to secure the beaten Brumbies a losing bonus point.

Totally agree, and with the Greenwood comment you have hit the nail on the head, England have never managed to replace Greenwood.
And although it's a simple analogy if you look at today's England side, how many of them would make a combined world xv?.
As you allude to, they are I'm afraid mediocre.
