Stormers sink Jaguares to remain unbeaten

The Stormers remain the only unbeaten side in Super Rugby after beating the Jaguares 17-7 on Saturday.

The South African side made it four wins out of four but laboured to a 3-0 halftime lead at Newlands before scrum-half Herschel Jantjies pounced on a stray pass and ran some 60 metres for the first try, followed soon after by a score for Ruhan Nel.

But they still had to a weather a strong comeback by the South Americans, whose hopes of an upset result were let down by an endless stream of infringements and mistakes.

"The score was not dominant but I thought we won the game with character. It was a quantum leap better than our last win," said Stormers coach John Dobson.

The round concluded on Saturday with Auckland Blues' Otere Black kicking over a last-gasp penalty as they edged the Bulls 23-21 in Pretoria.
