A possible move to London,. England has been on the cards for a while now. With Landajo having been overtaken by Gonzalo Bertranou in 2018 his long-term place in the test side was brought into question for the first time.
In the current Super Rugby season he is being used as back-up to Tomás Cubelli who has taken over as the starting no 9 due to the season-edngin injury to Bertranou.
At Harlequins Landajo will join Danny Care, England’s most capped scrum-half. Both men have 84 caps for their countries with Landajo also being Argentina’s most capped no 9 in history.
Aged 32, Care is two years older than Landajo. The arrival of the Buenos Aires scrum-half will ease the work-load on Care for the 2019-20 English and European club season.
