Jaguares change 2 for Lions clash

Cape Town - Head coach Mario Ledesma has made just two changes to the Jaguares starting line-up which will face the Lions on Saturday.

Ledesma has brought Bautista Ezcurra in at centre to replace Santiago Iglesias, while Santiago Garcia Botta has come in for Felipe Arregui at prop.

There are two further alterations on the bench with Jeronimo de le Fuente and Ramiro Moyano replacing Juan Martin Hernandez and Sebastian Cancelliere respectively.
