Elton Jantjies (flyhalf) added two conversions and two penalty goals to assist the side to a well-deserved win on the road. The Highveld team produced a powerful display upfront against the physical Jaguares, while they were also solid on defence.
Apart from the try-scoring exploits of the scavenging Schoeman, debutant Carlu Sadie (prop) was also immense in defence and in the scrums, while he won a few turnovers as well. The positive result will give Warren Whiteley’s team a huge amount of confidence for next Saturday’s derby against the DHL Stormers in Cape Town.
Scorers:
Jaguares – Try: Santiago Medrano. Conversion: Joaquin Diaz Bonilla. Penalty goal: Bonilla (3).
Emirates Lions – Tries: Marnus Schoeman (3). Conversions: Elton Jantjies (2). Penalty goal: Jantjies (2).
