By Rex Gowar

BUENOS AIRES, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Four 勝利,勝つs from 15 matches was considered a disappointing return for Argentina's Jaguares in their maiden 最高の Rugby (選挙などの)運動をする but hopes are high the Puma-laden squad can bring to 耐える the lessons learned for a more successful second season.

Pumas coach Raul Perez believes familiarity with the type of game 要求するd to 後継する and a わずかに いっそう少なく onerous travel schedule will help 与える/捧げる to an 改良 in 2017.

The biggest lesson learned, however, might be for those in Argentina who assumed that success on the 実験(する) 行う/開催する/段階 would 移転 automatically to the 大部分は southern 半球 地方の 競争.

"We have to manage 期待s better, concentrate on the first match, then go match-by-match," said Perez, whose squad is made up of almost the same 職員/兵員 as the 国家の team.

"Last year we had a squad that had finished fourth at the World Cup, there were high 期待s and there was 付加 圧力 to live up to that."

The Jaguares will open their second (選挙などの)運動をする with a two-match 小旅行する of South Africa but will be without some big 指名するs when they cross the South 大西洋.

Centre Juan ツバメ Hernandez, scrumhalf ツバメ Landajo and lock Tomas Lavanini are 行方不明の from the squad of 27, as is 退役軍人 支援する 列/漕ぐ/騒動 Juan Manuel Leguizamon who is の中で half a dozen players with 傷害 問題/発行するs.

Flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez is also on the 傷害 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) but travelling because although he may 行方不明になる the opener against Kings in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, he should be 利用できる to 直面する Stormers in Cape Town a week later.

追加するd to these 一時的な absences was the blow of the sudden loss of Facundo Isa altogether after the talented young number eight decided to 調印する a two-year 契約 with French 味方する Toulon.

Four members of the squad - 今後s Cristian Bartoloni and Benjamin Macome and 支援するs Joaquin Diaz Bonilla and Bautista Ezcurra - are rookies but Perez is co nfident they will be 資産s in a growing franchise.

"We have four debutants and that's a big challenge," he said. "(But) when we chose the squad we based our 決定/判定勝ち(する)s on each player's 現在の form and we're very 希望に満ちた about what they can bring to the team."

Perez thinks he knows what to 推定する/予想する from the two South African 味方するs having 監視するd the Currie Cup, in which the Western 州 味方する that 料金d the Stormers reached the 半分-決勝戦 and the Eastern 州 Kings finished winless and last.

"We've been looking at both 競争相手s and に引き続いて them in the Currie Cup," he said. "We already know that a team that does 井戸/弁護士席 in that tournament then takes off in 最高の Rugby."

Jaguares 大打撃を与えるd the Kings 73-27 at home last season but indiscipline, a 重要な 問題/発行する Perez has 公約するd to 改善する, let them 負かす/撃墜する in the return in Port Elizabeth where they lost 29-22.

Before those two matches they had lost 13-8 at home to Stormers. (Editing by Nick Mulvenney)
