translated from Spanish: Jaguares- Crusaders: New Zealanders won Super Rugby 19-3 final

Jaguares reached the Super Rugby final and faced Crusaders in Christchurch, New Zealand. The Argentines did their best but were unable to win the title of the competition that gathers the best in the Southern Hemisphere. Crusaders added their tenth consecration to the tournament while Jaguares plays for the fourth time.
The coach, Gonzalo Quesada, said at the end of the match: “I think we were there, it’s hard to play finals, we were on the court. Some of them came out, some didn’t. But we were on the court,” he added, “It’s exciting to see this group of players and see how they come from their clubs with a very sentimental way of living rugby.” For his part, Agustín Creevy also made statements after the defeat: “We cannot keep this because we know how hard it is coming next semester. We had a very nice season that gives us a nice animus injection for the Personal Rugby Championship and then for the World Cup,” and went on: “They have a very good defence, practically impressive. And what New Zealanders have is that as soon as you get confused in some they take advantage of it and add up points.”
“I think it was a game where we put Crusaders in trouble. They took advantage of their opportunities. We had two clear situations too, that if we had turned them into points, the match might have been another,” Jeronimo de la Fuente said. On the team’s performance, he said: “I feel proud for this team because we were up to the task and never doubted us. Obviously we knew what Crusaders is, the number of finals won they have and the trade they have to play these kinds of matches.”
