"I dunno; you tell me," said Ledesma, who was an assistant to Michael Cheika at the Wallabies and NSW Waratahs before taking the Pumas job.

"Nine seems to be a good number. It's been that way for a long time. I think that idea is shot to hell when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court," Ginsburg said when discussing the idea of increasing the number of high court judges with NPR.
