SANZAAR has named the official Super Rugby team of the week. Among the ideal XV from round 4 are three Jaguares players. Matías Alemanno, Ramiro Moyano and Juan Martín Hernández are considered as being among the best players from this past weekend’s Super Rugby matches.
Los Jaguares completed a comprehensive win over the Cheetahs. It followed a similarly impressive win over the Lions in round 3. Moyano was named by SANZAAR in last week’s Team of the Week and is back again. Last week he was joined by two other Jaguares players and this is again the case.
The players joining Moyano this week are changed. Moyano’s hat-trick is makes his inclusion an easy choice. Matías Alemanno also scored a try while Juan Martín Hernández had a fine performance both as a fly half and also a goal kicker.
Both Pablo Matera and Tomás Lezana missed out on being named though their performances surely has them coming close. The back-row positions went to Jaco Kriel, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea. Of the trio Savea was also named player of the week by SANZAAR.
