SANZAAR has confirmed Saturday's Test between the Wallabies and Argentina will go ahead despite a group of Argentinian team members breaching health orders.
This comes after six Pumas players and two team management staff crossed the NSW border on their scheduled day off without the permission of the tournament, which has left them unable to re-enter Queensland under the existing COVID border restrictions.
The Pumas confirmed Pablo Matera, Joaquin Diaz Bonilla, Felipe Ezcurra, Sebastian Cancelliere, Santiago Medrano, Santiago Socino are the six players who will be unavailable for selection, joined by manager Lucas Chioccarelli and video analyst Rodrigo Martínez

The 20-minute red card and the 50-22 will be amongst the new law trials implemented ahead of the Rugby Championship.
The decision to implement the red card changes comes after World Rugby approved a SANZAAR request after it was initially left out of the global trials
It initially came into effect for the Bledisloe series, which kicked off last week, and will see a player replaced after 20 minutes by another player if they have been red-carded.
A player who been tactically replaced is able to return to the field to replace a red-carded player, however, teams must have had used their allocated substitutes.
The decision comes after wide-ranging discussions surrounding a crack-down on high tackles and foul-play to ensure player safety.
It was brought further into the spotlight when Marika Koroibete was red-carded for a high tackle, which was eventually overturned, forcing the Wallabies to play with 14 men for 75 minutes before pulling off a famous win over France.
Jordie Barrett became one of the first to be sent off under the law during the All Blacks' third Bledisloe Test win over the Wallabies in Perth.
