Wallabies rugby test on Gold Coast in doubt following Argentinian border breach

The international rugby match on the Gold Coast is in doubt following an alleged health retreat dash over the NSW border.

The international rugby match between Australia and Argentina is in doubt with a number of players from the visiting side trapped in NSW following a border breach.

Eight Argentinian players left Queensland to visit a health retreat on Wednesday and were turned away when they attempted to re-enter later that night.

Queensland Police said the group of players who travelled to Byron Bay were denied access back into the Sunshine State on Wednesday night for failing to follow health directions.

Health authorities have approved travel into the NSW-Queensland border bubble, which includes Byron Bay, but access is limited to essential purposes only.

“There was a group that went across and when they went to come back they obviously didn't have the right documentation so were stopped and turned around as per protocol,” Queensland Police told NCA NewsWire.

“There are directions as to who can come back over.”

The failure to comply with health orders has cast doubt over the match between the Wallabies and Pumas, which was scheduled to be played on Saturday evening on the Gold Coast.

Rugby Australia has been contacted for comment.
