Argentina shaken by double injury blow

With Tomas Lavanini sidelined for six months after damaging his ACL against the Springboks, Argentina are rocked by yet another injury, with winger Manuel Montero also set for a lengthy absence as he battles back from a torn adductor muscle.

Both will not be available for the Rugby Championship matches against New Zealand and Australia.

On positive news for the Pumas, Nicolas Sanchez and Juan Martin Hernandez have both been included in the squad despite picking up head injuries against the Boks. Both are set to be fit for Argentina's match against the All Blacks on Sep. 10.
