The Lobos meet the Jaguars
Wolves against Jaguars in Lisbon - that is Saturday's match when Portugal play the Argentina Jaguars.
The Jaguars flew in from Tblissi after losing narrowly to Georgia on Saturday. The week before last Portugal lost to Namibia. Both sides would prefer to improve, especially the Portuguese as they edge towards the possibility of qualifying for the 2011 Rugby World Cup through the European Nations Cup matches starting next February.
