Argentinian traitor a boost for Wallabies

Wallabies set-piece coach Mario Ledesma says his team can expect a fierce forwards battle against Argentina in Perth on Saturday night.

Wallabies forwards coach Mario Ledesma says his friends have been calling him a traitor heading into Saturday night's Rugby Championship clash with Argentina in Perth.

Ledesma is a legend of Argentinian rugby, having playing 84 Tests for the Pumas during a glittering career.

The 43-year-old former hooker revealed he has received some friendly ribbing in the lead-up to Saturday's match against his home nation, but he's desperate to help guide the Wallabies to victory.
