AGUSTIN CREEVY 💙🤍💙 La Historia de un Héroe de los Pumas

Austin Creevy's Legacy: Forging Strength in the Front Line Before deciding to take up rugby, Agustin played several sports and made a couple of unsuccessful attempts at rugby, but if it had not been for the commendable work of Raúl José Frías, a renowned youth coach for many years at San Luis High School, perhaps the outcome could have been different. What was Frías' influence? Every Saturday morning, he would stop by the Creevy family's house on 34th Street in Barrio Norte to pick up Agustín and take him to the club. Austin Creevy: Beyond Rugby - The Story of a Pumas Hero Already as a youth he stood out for his physical size, and since his early days he always played as a third row (although he played as an eighth, most of the time he wore the No. 7). His baptism with a national jersey was at the age of 18, precisely on February 24, 2004 with Los Pumitas against Uruguay (31-0 victory) in the South American M19 organized in Colonia and San José. On the opening day of the 2004 URBA tournament, Creevy made his debut (on April 17, 2004) in the First Division of San Luis in a 29-34 defeat against Hindú, in Don Torcuato. The following year (2005) came the most important call-up. The season started with the performance in the South American Championship for Under 21 years old, where Marcelo Bosch and Horacio Agulla were also playing, in the city of Encarnación, Paraguay. On April 10, 2005 was the first country to play in the South American Championship.
