Michael Cheika onboard as Argentina prepare for All Blacks clash.

Argentina's players have moved out of quarantine today in Sydney as preparations for the Tri-Nations heat up.

The squad in Australia is currently made up of Los Pumas' home-based players, who have been training in COVID-19 isolation since arriving from Uruguay on October 6.

European based players will assemble in Australia later this week and begin their own 14-day quarantine.

It allows coach Mario Ledesma and new consultant Michael Cheika to work more closely with the players.

The former Wallabies coach has been monitoring the side from a distance at training.

TVNZ News reports Los Pumas will play three warm-up matches before facing the All Blacks on November 14 in Sydney.

Argentina was set to start their campaign against the Springboks on November 7 before the defending champions pulled out over player welfare and travel complications.

The All Blacks fly to Australia this weekend.
