The Jaguares XV rugby team from Argentina are currently in South Africa where they are competing in the Currie Cup first division. The team has blown away all local competitors in the competition thus far.

This Friday, 16 August they will be taking on the Leopards at the Fanie du Toit sports grounds at 19:00 which will be a historic match.

Leopards coach, André Pretorius, and Jaguares XV coach, Nacho Fernandez-Lobbe played against each other a couple of years back on international duty. Now, they will square up as the respective coaches of their teams.

Potchefstroom Herald took the time to speak to Fernandez-Lobbe on the trip to Potch, where they are based at the NWU Sports Village. We also spoke to team captain Francisco Gorissen on the experience of playing in South Africa and their goals for the Currie Cup First Division competition.
