Argentina's forced to postpone warm-up clash against Waratahs as Tri Nations preparations take another hit
By AAP
Argentina have postponed their friendly against the NSW Waratahs after a host of their players complained of niggling muscle injuries.
Los Pumas were scheduled to take on the Waratahs on Saturday but they made the decision to cancel it "to preserve the physical condition of some players who have slight muscle injuries".
Jeronimo de la Fuente, Lucas Paulos, Jose Luis Gonzalez, Santiago Grondona and Tomas Lezana were among the players who needed the rest.
Flanker Juan Martín Gonzalez is set to undergo scans after injuring his left adductor at training on Thursday.
The friendly could take place next week but details are yet to be confirmed.
Argentina have been training behind closed doors at Leichhardt Oval since arriving in Sydney earlier this month.
But 13 other players who arrived from Europe are still serving their mandatory isolation period, meaning the whole squad is yet to train together.
Argentina's Rugby Championship campaign gets under way against New Zealand in Sydney on November 14, before they tackle the Wallabies the following week.

Thanks Ed.
Go to commentsPerofeta came back and was available for the eoyt right? Or was that why Love was in the squad (but got injured in the last week)?
It was such a frustrating year. Perofeta looked a service stop gap until Jordan was fit, but then got injured. Plummer was selected because of Pero's injury and dmac shat the bed in the second half in Australia but Clarke (?) got himself binned at the 65 min mark so Plummer couldn't come on (at least with the risk adverse Razors thinking) when he was planned to.
So many other exciting opportunities that could have happened without injuries, but then theyre probably balanced by knowing Sititi probably wouldn't have been given a chance without multiple injuries happened.
