Santiago Cordero has scored 12 tries in 21 appearances for Bordeaux. These and other numbers explain why he has been the target of a number of clubs. A return to the Exeter Chiefs out to rivals, the Wasps, were both on the table.
In remaining at Bordeaux the 27-year-old will be one of three Pumas at the club. First, Guido Petti arrived this season from Los Jaguares. Second, Bautista Delguy joined following the Tri Nations; he is set to debut against Toulouse on December 27.
Cordero and Delguy now loom as an all-Argentine wing combination for Bordeaux. The possibility also exists for them to be Argentina’s wingers at RWC 2023 in France. Cordero has 38 caps for Argentina. He debuted as a teenager against England in 2013. He played in three of Argentina’s four test matches in 2020. Among them was the historic win over New Zealand in Sydney.
