Ulster trio Paddy Wallace, Andrew Trimble and Tommy Bowe are all rated as doubtful for Ireland’s second Test against Argentina next weekend after picking up injuries in Saturday’s 22-20 defeat to the Pumas.
Trimble turned his ankle in the game and Bowe has a shoulder injury, while Wallace damaged his right knee and is only rated a 50-50 chance of being fit for the Buenos Aires clash.
Wasps fly-half Jeremy Staunton has flown out to Buenos Aires after being pulled off Barclays Churchill Cup duty with Ireland A and was expected to join the senior squad as cover for Wallace today.
