Former Argentina captain Agustin Creevy wants to be part of the Pumas bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup by securing a new deal at London Irish.

Creevy, who has played in three successive World Cups, would be 38-years-old when the next World Cup takes place in France and having settled his young daughter into a local nursery, the hooker is determined to convince Declan Kidney, the Irish director of rugby, that he should be handed a new contract to replace the one that ends this season.

Having scored a try as Irish defeated Newcastle 31-22, Creevy is delivering on the pitch as part of the most capped pack the Premiership has ever seen. Six of the Irish forwards against the Falcons had amassed 402 international caps with Creevy contributing 88 appearances for his beloved Pumas.

Creevy said: “We are talking about a new contract and we have time to see what happens. Yes, I want to stay and I want to play the next World Cup but I need to still be playing at the best level and I try to be better every game. The Premiership is one of the best competitions in the world and that is why I came here.

“We have a lot of international players and we are really bonded and that is important. We try to train together and teach the young boys and it is a good family. I like my country identity with the Pumas and we have a nice one here as well.”

With demise of the Jaguares from Super Rugby, Creevy is part of a large contingent of Pumas now operating in the Premiership and he comes up against former teammate Matías Alemanno when Gloucester arrive in Brentford on Saturday.

Creevy said: “There are a lot of friends playing in the Premiership with Matias the second row at Gloucester and I love playing against them and laughing on the pitch. We are friends playing together for seven years together. Now, it is fun to play against them.”

The reason given by Steve Borthwick for latest England setback

So England are allowed to have a tsunami whinge fest about the ref but if an Irish fan points out that some decisions hurt Ireland also they are being petulant.

Honestly some English supporters are all politeness until they lose then the claws and fangs come out.

Ok here we go, not complaints just pointing out where England got away with roul play:

1: M Smiths headbutt on James Lowe that started the fracas with Stewart. If the ref spots that in time then thats a second yellow if not a straight red for Smith. Probably worth another 14 points with England gassed so a 41-10 final scoreline?

2: Itoje's several stamps on Hansens instep in a clear attempt to damage metatarsals. Straight red or if he is lucky, 10 in the bin.

3. Currys block on Baird to create a gap that Smith used to break the line. Penalty and possession for Ireland deep in England 22 with score at 0:0.

4: The correct decision for the Cunningham South dangerous tackle was a yellow. Lowe blew it by confronting him. The ref didn't give South or Lowe a yellow. The ref couldn't give Lowe a yellow anyway as the TMO would have informed him that m Smith alone started the previosu fracas and its not unreasonable for a player to react to being headbutted.


One last thing missing from English analysis

How is coming over to Dublin acting like you own the place, committing filthy cowardly off the ball cheap shots working out for you? I mean you clearly dont care that we think your team are a crowd of a$$holes but...... rugby wise, how is riling the Irish team to focus and get the best out of themselves against such unpleasant opposition working for you on the scoreboard?


Food for thought old boy!!!!
