SYDNEY (Reuters) - Whatever the problems with the 18-team Super Rugby format that was unceremoniously dumped last year, and there were plenty, it is becoming increasingly clear that the decision to expand the competition to Argentina and Japan was not among them.

The Jaguares are flourishing in their third season under new coach Mauro Ledesma and their 54-24 demolition of the three-times champion Bulls on Saturday moved them up to second place in the South Africa conference.
