Creevy ready for physical battle
Thus, coach Raul Perez has flooded his side with World Cup stars who will undoubtedly want to make an immediate impact on the competition.
"It will be very physical up front, as is every match with a South African team. They are more predictable but stronger at the same time, so we'll have to be very careful. We've made some good progress since we began our preseason two months ago.
"Our main is to enjoy every moment and play for the people supporting us back home," Creevy said.
Joaquín Tuculet, Santiago Cordero, Matías Moroni, Jerónimo De la Fuente and Nicolás Sánchez make up a formidable backline who proved they could run rings around any opponent at the 2015 World Cup in England.
Creevy forms the anchor to a powerful front row that includes Ramiro Herrera and Lucas Noguera while Julian Montoya and Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro will certainly provide extra grunt from the bench.
