Jaguares without captain for Lions duel

Cape Town - Jaguares head coach Raúl Pérez has made two changes to his starting team that will face the Lions at Vélez Sarsfield Stadium on Saturday.

Due to an injury to captain and hooker Agustín Creevy, Julian Montoya comes into the side for their final fixture of their Super Rugby season.

Scrumhalf Martín Landajo takes the captain's armband.

The other alteration to the side that lost to the Highlanders last weekend sees Pablo Matera miss out so Javier Ortega Desio moves to the flank and Guido Petti comes into the second-row as the Argentines look to finish on a high note.

The game in Buenos Aires is scheduled for 23:40 (SA time) on Saturday.
