The Puma suffered a torn right quad and now faces a three to four week recovery. He started for Argentina in game one of the Rugby Championship, playing on the left wing.

The absence of Moroni and Orlando will unlikely impact Ledesma’s plans. Jerónimo de la Fuente and Santiago Chocobares are on track to be retained as the starting centers. Moreover, Emiliano Boffelli is available again to give Argentina a further option for wing and fullback. Santiago Cordero will potentially replace Moroni to join Bautista Delguy, and Santiago Carreras in the back-three. Full story via americasrugbynews
