Reds triumph over Jaguares
By RugbyPass
For the first time in five years the Queensland Reds have secured three consecutive victories.
Brad Thorn's side picked up a brutal 18-7 win over the Jaguares at Estadio Amalfitani on Sunday morning.
Young halfback James Tuttle opened the scoring with a penalty in the third minute, but the home side replied with a Bautista Delguy try just four minutes later to take a 7-3 lead.
Reds hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa picked up his first try of the season off the back of a rolling maul from a lineout. Another Tuttle penalty pushed the lead out to four points.
Jaguares midfielder Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias was denied a try two minutes after the half time hooter after the TMO ruled he knocked on over the try line.
Shortly after the break, diminutive Reds winger Filipo Daugunu scored his maiden Super Rugby try to put his side ahead by two scores 18-7, a lead that proved insurmountable as the Jaguares suffered through a scoreless second half.
The home side proved to be their own worst enemy, coming painstakingly close to the try line on multiple occasions only to concede a turnover or succumb to a handling error. The Jaguares conceded 26 turnovers in total.
The Jaguares will host the Lions next week, while the Reds travel to South Africa to take on the Stormers at Newlands.
JAGUARES 7 (Delguy try, Sanchez con) REDS 18 (Paenga-Amosa, Daugunu tries, Tuttle 2 pens, 1 con) HT 7-11

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
