Further Blow For Jaguares As Joaquín Tuculet Drops Out

Los Jaguares have been suffered a further blow as Joaquín Tuculet has been ruled out of facing the Brumbies. The fullback will miss this Saturday’s Super Rugby match as a precaution but will be fine to face the Stormers on May 05, also in Buenos Aires.

The La Plata fullback suffered an inflammation to his knee in training. It is the same knee which he injured last year and saw him miss the entirety of Argentina’s international activity for 2018.

Thus far in the 2019 Super Rugby season Tuculet has played in eight matches. Of these six have been as the starting fullback and two as a replacement. He has scored two tries this year and played in a total of 512 minutes.
