Kings trump wasteful Jaguares in Buenos Aires
By Sacha Pisani
Southern Kings edged Jaguares 31-30 for their fifth win of the Super Rugby season.
The Kings' last visit to Buenos Aires ended in an embarrassing 73-27 defeat in May last year, but there was no repeat of that on Friday.
Jaguares led 20-14 at half-time, however, the Kings proved too hot to handle for the wasteful hosts.
Makazole Mapimpi scored two tries for the travelling Kings at Velez Sarsfield. Luzuko Vulindlu and Wandile Mjekevu also crossed over, while Lionel Cronje kicked 11 points.
Jaguares posted five tries via Joaquin Tuculet's double and Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Emiliano Boffelli and Nicolas Sanchez but their goal-kicking percentage was just 25.
The Kings remain bottom of the Africa 2 Conference, two points adrift of Jaguares.

The URC and the Euro Championscup can’t run at the same time, basically dilutes both competitions.
Go to comments“While Sotutu should start at No.8 for the All Blacks against England, but it’s only in that arena that he can prove just how good he really is.” And that my friends is where simply hasnt shone despite multiple opportunities. Even in this performance you can see what did him in in the test arena..he almost always still runs at the opposition almost ramrod upright making him easier to stop than it should be.
