(Reuters) - Argentina coach Mario Ledesma has precious little time to fix his side's backpedalling scrum if they are to have an impact at the Rugby World Cup in two months' time.

The Pumas were unable to compete with a Wallabies scrum that Ledesma himself had rebuilt when he was the team's forwards coach under Michael Cheika in their 16-10 Rugby Championship loss in Brisbane.
