Watch: Handre Pollard throws Jaguares gift on way to first win of Super Rugby season
By Sacha Pisani
A pair of late tries gave the Jaguares a 27-12 victory over the Bulls and their first win of the Super Rugby season.
The Jaguares were beaten 25-16 at home to the Lions in round one last week, but the Argentine side opened their account thanks to Rodrigo Bruni and Bautista Delguy.
The Jaguares led 7-3 at halftime after Bulls flyhalf Handre Pollard left a pass hanging that was scooped up by centre Matias Orlando and taken back 70-metres.
The Bulls – 40-3 winners last time out – held a 12-9 lead on the hour-mark after fly-half Handre Pollard converted his fourth penalty of the game for the South African visitors in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
Bruni grounded the ball following a rolling maul in the 63rd minute and Joaquin Diaz Bonilla added the extras, before Delguy sealed the victory on the overlap nine minutes later.
The Bulls problems overseas continue, with their run of failing to get a win on foreign soil extending once again. The last international came in 2016. The return home to face the Lions and Sharks in consecutive weeks.

I'm very aware that GB is not UK.
Also that the British Isles are not the same as the British Islands.
I still think your objection to calling this a tour to the UK is stupid and pedantic.
I repeat what I send earlier, the Boks are not playing anywhere except in the UK.
It's legitimate therefore to call this a tour to the UK.
But this is boring now, goodnight, goodbye. And good luck with your crusade (that really doesn't have any bearing on what the article is discussing.)
Go to commentsHappy for Asher Opoku-Fordjour but why oh why is he the only new face, Borthwick didn't have to change 50% of the team but surely another 2 or 3 squad guys could have been given the chance to show what they could do? What can we possibly learn from this game other than we can beat Japan with a strong team.... hold the front page....!!
