Strettle out of Argentina games

Bath winger Matt Banahan has been promoted from the Saxons to replace Strettle in the England squad ahead of Saturday's clash with the Pumas at Old Trafford.
England then travel from Manchester to Salta for the second Test on June 13.
Strettle is understood to be suffering from colitis, the latest interruption to an England career that has been plagued by injuries and illness.
Since his eye-catching debut against Ireland in the 2007 Six Nations, Strettle has only won six England caps.
The elusive Harlequins winger has suffered three separate broken metatarsals, one of which ruled him out of the 2007 World Cup squad.
Strettle also missed both Tests on the pre-World Cup tour to South Africa after being hospitalised by a gastric virus which swept through the squad.
