Argentina job for Mario Ledesma

Editor

Argentina have announced that Mario Ledesma will take over in the international hot-seat from Daniel Hourcade, who resigned last month.

After a dismal run, the writing was on the wall for Hourcade, with Ledesma always expected to take over after impressing at the Jaguares.

“This is a huge challenge, but one I will embrace,” said the former hooker following the announcement of his new position on Wednesday.

Argentina are currently preparing for their Rugby Championship opener against South Africa in Durban, which takes place on August 18.
