The Jaguares have made nine personnel changes and two positional swaps to their run-on XV their game against the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday.

In a complete overhaul of his backline, coach Gonzalo Quesada has brought in internationals Santiago Carreras, Matias Moroni, Jeronimo de la Fuente, Joaquin Diaz Bonilla and Gonzalo Bertranou. 

Carreras is at fullback, Moroni and captain De la Fuente form the new midfield combination, Diaz Bonilla is the flyhalf and Bertranou is at scrumhalf.

The only surviving backline players from last week’s team are Sebastian Cancellierre, who moves from left to right wing and Emiliano Boffelli, who switches from No 15 to left wing.

In the pack, Marcos Kremer and Guido Petti are elevated into the starting team as the lock pairing, while Joel Sclavi is the new tighthead prop and Julian Montoya the preferred hooker for this week.
