Agustin Creevy out to end Pumas’ Dublin duck

Agustin Creevy has declared Argentina ready to claim a first win in Dublin against Ireland.

Argentina have beaten Ireland three times at Rugby World Cups, in 1999, 2007 and in the 2015 quarter-final - and now Creevy believes his men can end their Dublin hoodoo at the eighth attempt and the former Worcester hooker revealed his distant Irish roots as another personal motivation ahead of today’s clash.

“We hope to change that run, knowing that we have never won here,” said Creevy. “We feel we can make history but we know Ireland are in one of their best moments ever. Probably it will be a more than interesting game for us. We are used to playing more and more games every year because of the calendar we have.
