Happy birthday to Jaguardo, Super Rugby's best mascot

Agustin Creevy and Jaguardo

On behalf of everyone at Rugby Pass: Feliz cumpleaños, Jaguardo!

Mascots from around the Super Rugby universe are coming together on social media to wish Jaguares mascot Jaguardo a happy birthday.

In a post to his Twitter account earlier this week, Jaguardo revealed that it was his birthday on Sabado, or Saturday.

Queensland Reds mascot Rusty the Koala was the first to wish him a happy birthday.

Wolvy, the Sunwolves new mascot introduced earlier this year, sent his birthday wishes in both Japanese and Spanish.

Cheetah, the Cheetahs mascot, printed out a sign especially.

Lions mascot Mufasa recorded a video message for Jaguardo, which was translated into English by a real life Doctor Dolittle: “Good day Jaguardo. Mufasa, the king of Emirates Airline Park, says happy birthday, and wishes you well for the next year.”

Waratahs mascot Tah Man sent greetings from Sydney.

The Kings, who don’t have a mascot, got Lionel Cronje to record a birthday message instead.

Finally, better late than never, Hurricanes mascot Captain Hurricane sent Jaguardo belated birthday wished on Monday morning.

Here is a photo of the birthday boy last year, riding a zipline above Estadio José Amalfitani holding lit smoke bombs in his paws.

Jake White: Ireland, Australia and Wales all have the same problem

Smith is playing a different game with the rest of the backs struggling to understand. That's the problem with so called playmakers, if nobody gets what they're doing then it often just leads to a turnover. It gets worse when Borthwick changes one of them, which is why they don't score points at the end. Sometimes having a brilliant playmaker can be problematic if a team cannot be built around them. Once again Borthwick seems lacking in either coaching or selection. I can't help but think it's the latter coupled with pressure to select the big name players.

Lastly, his forward replacements are poor and exposed either lack of depth or selection pressure. Cole hemorrhages scrum penalties whenever he comes on, opponents take advantage of the England scrum and close out the game. Is that the best England can offer?

David Campese takes back his Joe Schmidt coaching Australia criticism

I am waiting for your list of candidates. We had several from which to choose so give me some choice (your list) in Aussie candidates for the ABs. You imply that any Australian would be preferrable to Schmidt, yet E Jones and Cheika obviously didn't meet your standards either. Are you angry that Schmidt is far exceeding Jones? All Oz coaches you have quoted are from way back in time. When you had some choice. What you won't admit, is you got nobody better than a kiwi currently. Otherwise you would be putting them up. The fact you don't shows you are a blowhard because you want to groan about Schmidt purely on the basis he is kiwi - not his impressive results.

Nothing would have been better. In the last 6 months of McKenzie's coaching, the Wallabies were really starting to hum. They were playing some brilliant rugby, even with no Pocock and came so close to winning the Bledisloe Cup. Only 3 points short I think.


Schmidt is a competent coach and after Jones destroying the Wallabies moral with picking useless Tah players (Bell is very good) any coach could have improved the Wallabies. We have achieved nothing so far really.

Sadness pervades as Gatland stands on the brink of Welsh exit

I'm afraid Gatland lost my respect with his uncalled for comments earlier in the year and his whinging about the so-called Boks' bad attitude in the Lions' 2021 tour. I also think he's not done my '6 nations' team much good this time round and they'll be well rid of him with his dated approach.

'Steve Borthwick hung his troops out to dry - he should take some blame'

He's coaching like Eddie V2 did in Australia...You need someone with bigger balls and an understanding of what to do to improve what is going on. It is a dynamic environment that is constantly changing as coaches dream up new ways to win. He is like an automaton of Eddie's creation.

Only if you think like the org writer ie Except for Elon Musk, he is perhaps the least popular South African ~ Which is a shame for a man who is so clearly sensitive and introspective.


Does he know Rassie personally or is this just a woke joke

Jake White: Ireland, Australia and Wales all have the same problem

Not my perception John, I think he is trying to develop a settled team but also needs players with some experience to step in if we get some injuries. As an example, someone said today we are only 2 injuries to THP's away from a nightmare situation. We have double the LHP's to THP's.

None of this is going to convince you. I was hoping Ewen would step in before we employed the nasty little toad who stuffed up Aussie scrummaging and lineouts in 2003, the effects of which we have lived with for 20 years.

Great article! So controversial it will no doubt get suckers to comment and raise clicks and views!!! Its by design that Ben writes such biased and skewed opinioned articles to get the anger and shock affect. Great marketing

How leviathan Will Skelton and the Wallabies reversed the World Cup fiasco

Nick its not shallow and unobservant. We have all watched him play and Ive probably seen all 30 tests he has played, but reality is he has only played 30 tests in 11 seasons and thats not the record of a great player. Yes he has been OS a lot but thats possibly part of the criticisim of him. He has been available for Aus based on the Wallabies selection policy for those whole 11 seasons.

Im more than happy to call him a very good club player but I think his test career shows what his level is. Probably would have played 60-70 tests by now had he stayed in SR but tbh NH rugby is far more suitable for him. He is a bit like Tuipolotu is for NZ. Gets better with maturity, but never quite nailed the test spot down in their younger days. Both are better now than earlier in their careers. Perhaps his best for Aus will prove to be from now thru to the 2027 WC in Aus.

SH rugby is dying. To win, the teams have had to rely on the incompetence of the refs.


You had a good run, but hopefully world rugby gets better standards for refs and your slide to irrelevance will be quick and justified.
