Argentina’s home-based players will move out of quarantine in host nation Australia on Tuesday, allowing consultant Michael Cheika to work more closely with the group as they build towards a Tri-Nations series that also includes New Zealand.

The squad arrived in Sydney from a training camp in Uruguay on Oct. 6 and will now be able to resume normal training under head coach Mario Ledesma, who is excited to see the impact ex-Wallabies coach Cheika will have on the team."The fact Michael can now be physically at training and in contact with the boys is great," Ledesma told the team website lospumas.com.ar."He's very enthusiastic about the team.
With Argentina's European-based players only arriving in Australia this week and heading directly into 14 days of quarantine, Ledesma is grateful for the extra preparation time."The reality is that the boys from Europe were only going to be able to come out of quarantine on Nov. 4, so preparing the team was going to be very difficult for that first game against the Springboks," he said."The friendlies are essential," Ledesma said.
