Martin Landajo touched down twice as Argentinian debutants Jaguares won their inaugural Super Rugby match in style with a 34-33 comeback victory over the Cheetahs at Free State Stadium.

The hosts, who at one point held a 24-3 lead, scored tries through Francois Venter, a penalty try, Torsten van Jaarsveld and William Small-Smith with Fred Zeilinga kicking 10 points and Charles Marais claiming a penalty.

But the Jaguares, one of two new Super Rugby franchises debuting in the 2016-17 season along with the Japan Sunwolves, hit back with five-pointers from Agustin Creevy and Rodrigo Baez alongside fly-half Landajo's double and 14 points from the boot of Nicolas Sanchez to seal a historic first win.
