WELLINGTON (Reuters) - It has been a long road to Christchurch for the Jaguares, both literally and figuratively, and the Argentines are determined not to forget what got them through that journey when they play Saturday's Super Rugby final.

Having won 13 of 19 games around the southern hemisphere this season, then travelled the 10,000 kilometres from Buenos Aires to the south island of New Zealand, the Jaguares face the daunting task of taking on the Canterbury Crusaders.
