Notes:

Quotes from Director of Rugby, Gary Gold.

“I am proud of the effort and character displayed against the Hurricanes. To put the pressure that we did on ourselves and to rectify our errors, by stringing some good phases together and scoring some fantastic tries, will certainly add to our confidence. I don’t think it was a once-off effort this past weekend. We’ve been building and making progress each week to get to this phase.

“In terms of travel we are going to unchartered waters, but we making no excuses and are looking forward to the challenge against a very good Jaguares team, who have come off a 70-point win last weekend. They are a team laden with internationals and we know that we are in for a physical battle on Saturday.

“We needed to be precise in our preparation for this match and we’ve had a good few days in Durban and the guys are in good shape. We are still in the fight and have some tough matches coming up, which are critically important, but we remain focussed and committed to the challenges that lie ahead.”
