BUENOS AIRES — Jaguares winger Santiago Cordero will miss the first half of the Argentine Super Rugby club’s trip to New Zealand and Japan after suffering cuts and bruises in a car crash.
Argentine Cordero, one of the standouts from last year’s World Cup, was driving in wet conditions on Saturday night after the Jaguares lost 13-8 to the Stormers at Velez Sarsfield.
"I was on my way back home, it was raining a bit and suddenly I lost control of the car," Cordero was quoted as saying by the Argentine Rugby Union on Sunday. "Luckily, it was just a fright and I’m okay."
Cordero had been due to fly with the Jaguares to Auckland on Sunday, but will join them in two weeks’ time, with his place taken by Ramiro Moyano.
The Jaguares, who have won one and lost three of their matches in their debut season, play the Blues in Auckland on Saturday before meeting the Hurricanes and Crusaders on the following two weekends. They then fly to Tokyo to meet the Sunwolves on April 23. They will also rest Agustin Creevy, Joaquin Tuculet, Juan Martin Hernandez and Juan Manuel Leguizamon until the match against the Crusaders.
