The clash against the Wallabies at Cbus Super Stadium is in no jeopardy. Argentina will name a full team of 23 players later on Thursday to face the Wallabies.

The Pumas have a big enough squad - comprising of 44 players - to cover the loss of the six players who cannot get back into Queensland.

The match on the weekend is Argentina and Australia’s final fixture of the Rugby Championship.

It comes just days after Pumas coach Mario Ledesma slammed Rugby Australia and SANZAAR for a captains’ photoshoot that went ahead without a representative from Argentina.

“All are in perfect health, staying in a hotel in the area, waiting for their condition to be resolved,” a translated UAR statement read.

“For the moment, its only limitation is the momentary impossibility of transferring the state jurisdiction to rejoin the rest of the members who remain in Queensland.

“The UAR is making solving this problem a top priority. To do this, it is carrying out all the necessary steps at the institutional level and providing all the assistance to facilitate the return of the players and staff as soon as possible.

“In parallel, an internal process has begun to clarify what happened and determine the corresponding responsibilities.”

SANZAAR now face a logistical headache as the team was set to leave Australia on a charter flight out of Brisbane on Sunday.

The governing body must now negotiate with the Queensland government for the six players and two staff to be allowed back into Queensland so they can travel directly to Brisbane Airport, or move the remainder of the squad to Sydney, where they can link up with the group stranded in NSW.
