A strong second-half showing allowed the Lions to roar to a bonus-point 52-24 victory over the Jaguares and confirm their status as South Africa's most likely contenders in Super Rugby this season.

Wings Ruan Combrinck and Courtnall Skosan bagged two tries each as the Lions ran in eight at Ellis Park having led 19-9 at halftime.

The Argentine side battled in the set-pieces and were starved of possession, but did get late tries through flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez, who also kicked four penalties, and scrumhalf Gonzalo Bertranou.
