Grondona injury blow for Falcons

NEWCASTLE Falcons have suffered a blow with recent signing Santiago Grondona returning to Argentina with a serious knee injury.

Back row Grondona joined Dean Richards’ Falcons just before Christmas from the Jaguares on a deal until the end of the season along with Mateo Carreras.

He moved to the Falcons shortly after making his Puma debut in their historic win over The All Blacks in Sydney and is now back in Buenos Aires.
