PRE MATCH
Having returned to winning ways against South African opposition in the last couple of weeks, the defending champion Crusaders will be looking to keep the ball rolling as they travel to Argentina.
Standing in their way will be a fresh Jaguares side, coming off a bye last week, looking to improve on their 50 per cent win record at home so far this season, most recently earning a hard fought 49-35 win over the Lions.
The visitors will be looking for their rookies to step up, with a stellar list of key players out of action, including the likes of Kieran Read, Richie Mo'unga, Owen Franks, Israel Dagg, with Jordan Taufua and Jack Goodhue added to that list earlier this week.
These two sides have met just once in the past, with the Crusaders coming away 32-15 back in 2016 on their home turf.
