Ground Report

<p>Argentina coach Marcelo Loffreda will make a final decision as to the status of London Irish center Gonzalo Tiesi after suffering a fractured cheekbone in a collision with teammate Felipe Contepomi during the Pumas 70-14 mopping of a motley Chilean side at the Club Atl&eacute;tico San Isidro on Saturday.<br />
<br />
&uml;If Tiesi has to have surgery, I will automatically look for a replacement.&nbsp; If not, then all will depend on today&acute;s evaluation,&uml; said Loffreda yesterday in a press conference.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
The recuperation time for Tiesi will be about a month, which will leave him with barely any time to prepare for the World Cup opener against France on September 7th. This will leave Mart&iacute;n Senillosa in the driver&acute;s seat as Marcelo Bosch recently signed with Biarritz and he is already in Europe.&nbsp; </p>
