(Reuters) - Wales loosehead prop Wyn Jones has been ruled out of both tests against Argentina after sustaining a calf injury in training, the Welsh Rugby Union said http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/40962.php#.WxqDHu7RAdU on Friday.

The 26-year-old was named as a starter in coach Warren Gatland's team to face Argentina in San Juan on Saturday and has been replaced by Rob Evans.

Gatland has drafted Ospreys' Nicky Smith on to the bench, with Jones set to return to his club Scarlets for treatment.
