Leonardo Senatore has been named in the Super Rugby Team of the Week. The Jaguars No 8 made the official SANZAAR selected team. The website noted that Senatore gained 136 metres, the only forward to hit triple figures, thanks to three clean breaks. He also crossed for a try in Jaguares’ victory.
Named in other teams this week is scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou. Both he and Senatore are expected to be involved in this weekend’s round two fixture. Los Jaguares will play away to the Stormers in Cape Town.
It is welcome news to Argentina. Both players were back-up options to leading talent in 2016. But with Facundo Isa now in France and both Martín Landajo and Tomás Cubelli injured the losses may not be as bad as initially feared.
