REUTERS: Argentina coach Mario Ledesma, a member of the Pumas' best generation of players, owes his career as a trainer to theclinical eye of his Australia counterpart Michael Cheika.
“But he said, ‘Take a flight, I’ll pay for it, and come to Paris, we’ll have a coffee and talk,’ and my wife said, ‘Why don’t you go? If you’re going to take a decision you have to have all the cards in hand,’ and when I was on the plane I had already half decided. This cemented a great relationship which eventually led to Ledesma following Cheika to Australia as scrum guru for the Waratahs and later the Wallabies.
His Argentina team may be on a run of nine test defeats going into the World Cup but he sees massive progress in a relatively small but growing core of professionals now playing in the southern hemisphere's Super Rugby and Rugby Championship.
