Jaguares beat Blues at last

-

Argentina’s Jaguares rallied from 13-5 down at halftime to beat the Auckland-based Blues 20-13 in Super Rugby on Saturday for their first win over a New Zealand team.

The Jaguares won in New Zealand with a forward performanc­e which wrecked the Blues’ scrum, damaged their lineout and allowed them to overwhelmi­ngly dominate territory and possession in a rain-soaked match. They also received twice as many penalties as the indiscipli­ned Blues but took time to turn all those advantages into a historic win.
