In the meantime, why not have a look at the match preview.
Thomas Perenara leads the Hurricanes out onto the field, followed by Emiliano Boffelli, playing his 50th Super Rugby game.

1.00: PEEEEP! Domingo Miotti gets us underway at Estadio Jose Amalfitani in Buenos Aires.
2.00: Ngani Laumape loses possession, but the ball is cleaned up and booted down the field. Some aerial ping-pong takes place before Santiago Carreras clears into touch on halfway.
3.00: Guido Petti gets penalised for taking a Hurricanes player out in the air at the lineout.
4.00: Marcos Kremer steals a lineout against the throw, the ball is cleared but not out, and the ‘Canes attack near the opposition’s 10m.
5.00: The Jaguares defence has started well, winning two turnovers, one in open play, one at the ruck, as well as winning their opponent’s throw in a dangerous position inside their 22.
6.00: Jordie Barrett will attempt a 63-metre longe-range penalty.
7.00: PENALTY! Unbelievable from the fullback, playing in his 50th Super Rugby game, he lands the monster kick with about 10 metres in the bank. 0-3

12.00: The Hurricanes concede a penalty for holding on at the ruck when they had the ball.
14.00: Gonzalo Quesada’s men like to attack the wide channels. Miotti gets an attack going with a wide pass to Boffelli before the left-wing collects a grubber and plays Tomas Cubelli, on his inside. However, the scrumhalf knocks on when it was easier to score.
16.00: PENALTY! Miotti levels from 41 metres. 3-all
18.00: 18.00: NO TRY! TMO deems Gareth Evans obstructed Matias Moroni, which allowed Billy Proctor a clear run to the try-line. 3-all

21.00: OH, DEAR! Wes Goosen knocks on a bouncing ball, gifting Quesada’s men a central attacking scrum about 30 metres out.
23.00: TRY! Kremer finishes off a sublime attack from the Jaguares. Moroni started the attack with a burst up to the Kiwis’ 22. The ball was recycled quickly to Boffelli before Cubelli put the flanker away thanks to his angled run. 8-3

36.00: Du’Plessis Kirifi doesn’t support his body-weight at the breakdown, conceding the penalty. Miotti will look to cancel out Barrett’s earlier strike.
37.00: MISS! A rare miscue from the young playmaker. 10-9

44.00: Miotti calls for the tee; the kick is right in front.
45.00: PENALTY! The ball falls over, the ref tells the 23-year-old that time is running, so he puts the ball back on the tee and slots the kick. 13-9

47.00: OH, BOY! Laumape knocks on.

68.00: Luamape makes a break and sends Perenara away, however, the halfback is tackled short before being carried over the line. Perenara tells the ref that he did not score, saving a wasted TMO review. Nice!
