Jaguares rung the changes ... again

The Jaguares, still struggling to come to terms with their humiliating loss to the Lions last week, will face the Kings in Port Elizabeth on Friday.

The team shows four changes, with one uncapped player in the staring XV.

In the front row hooker and captain Agustin Creevy starts ahead of Julián Montoya, after playing off the bench for the last few weeks.

At lock Guido Petti replaces Matias Alemanno.

The back row consists entirely of players from the Santiago Lawn Tennis Club, with Juan Manuel Leguizamón taking the place of Javier Ortega Desio on the flank.

The fourth change is in the backline, where a second Tuculet, Segundo Tuculet, comes into the centre in place of the injured Lucas González Amorosino - who has already returned home.

Matías Orlando moved from outside centre to the wing, with the man from Los Tilos coming in to the midfield.

Jaguares: 15 Joaquín Tuculet, 14 Matías Orlando, 13 Segundo Tuculet, 12 Juan Martín Hernández, 11 Emiliano Boffelli , 10 Nicolás Sánchez, 9 Martín Landajo, 8 Facundo Isa, 7 Juan Manuel Leguizamón, 6 Tomás Lezana, 5 Tomás Lavanini, 4 Guido Petti, 3 Ramiro Herrera, 2 Agustín Creevy (captain), 1 Santiago García Botta.
