However, one thing Ledesma is certain of is Michael Cheika’s enthusiasm in the Argentina camp, which former Wallaby Drew Mitchell believes could be a huge advantage for the South Americans as they look to spring a few upsets.

After dealing with positive COVID-19 test results, moving base to Uruguay and the logistical headache of getting some of their best players to Australia from Europe, a relaxed Argentina outfit have based themselves in Manly.

They have three weeks until their first match of the Tri Nations, which came to be after the Springboks’ withdrawal last week that caught other SANZAAR home unions slightly off guard.

South Africa were more concerned with player welfare than the significant financial hit from their exit. It has left Australia, New Zealand and Argentina to battle it out in a truncated six-week competition.

Argentina could have felt aggrieved given they were already in Australia yet Ledesma refused to lash out at South Africa despite the fact his players have had less football under their belts.

The reason they gave, we are in no position to doubt.

“The reason they gave, we are in no position to doubt,” Ledesma said. “From our point of view, we feel really humble and happy and privileged to be here and to be able to play with everything that's going on in our country.

“South Africa’s been helping us a lot in the last decade. It’s a country that always gave us an opportunity.”

Speculation is rife that South Africa’s decision may have broader implications. There have been offers for them to play more Tests in the northern hemisphere, casting doubt on their presence in next year’s Rugby Championship and beyond.

While this Tri Nations tournament has been cooked up by SANZAAR at short notice, a future three-team competition does not appeal to broadcasters and could cause major headaches.
