Pumas looking to become the perfect hybrid of Argentina and Australia against All Blacks HAMISH BIDWELL1 NEWSMario Ledesma spent three years with Australia and has put what he has learned to good use. It's just hard to see the Pumas coach finding the perfect marriage of Argentina and Australia, in time to beat New Zealand in Nelson on Saturday. Of the 160 minutes they played against the Pumas last year, only about 60 were any good. On the park, making the Pumas' scrum a weapon again is a focus, along with ball-retention and accuracy. As encouraging as last month's 32-19 win over South Africa was, Ledesma said the All Blacks would've made the Pumas pay for being so ill-disciplined at 32-7 up.
