The Jaguares host the Lions in the final match of Round 6 of the 2018 Super Rugby season. Join The Roar for live scores from the match at on Sunday morning, starting from 8:40am AEDT.
The Jaguares are already finding themselves in must-win mode after what has been a poor start to the season, the result being that they have only a 1-4 record from the first five rounds.
They opened their year by travelling to South Africa but lost to both the Stormers and the Lions in the opening round before returning home.
They suffered a big loss to the Hurricanes in their first match in front of a home crowd, but finally got their first win of the year in Round 4, knocking off the Waratahs.
Last week they copped a disappointing loss against the visiting Reds.
The Lions however opened the season with three straight wins, all of them in South Africa, before a disappointing loss in Round 4 to the Blues where they were beaten at home 35-38.
Last week they managed to notch a victory over the Sunwolves to get back on the winners’ list, but, they’d be disappointed that it was so close, a 40-38 scoreline.
The result though is that they’re 4-1 after five Rounds and comfortably on top in the African conference, something that sets them up for another finals appearances.
Prediction
These sides have already met this year in Round 2 when the Lions have a very comfortable win over the Jaguares, with a 47-to-27 victory.
While it’ll be a bit closer this time around given the Argentinian franchise have the home-ground advantage, the Lions should still win.
Lions by 10.
