ARGENTINA skipper Gus Creevy has got just two matches remaining in Worcester Warriors colours.

The Pumas hooker admits every second he spends on the pitch will be vital trying to return Warriors to the Premiership.

During Creevy’s first season at Sixways Worcester were relegated from the top tier of English rugby.

And Creevy wants to put Warriors back among the elite before he departs, after signing a deal with the Argentina Rugby Federation (UAR) to join a new Pumas franchise in Super Rugby next season.

“The next two matches are really important for the club and, personally, I want to help put Worcester back into the top tier,” he said.

“My challenge this season was to get Worcester back there and I am here for that reason.”

Andy Robinson’s Bristol stand in Warriors’ way of an immediate return to the top table of English rugby.

The first leg of the Championship final is at Ashton Gate on Wednesday, with the second at Sixways on May 27 (both 7.45pm).

Warriors have already been on the wrong end of two narrow defeats against Bristol this term.

Creevy said: “If the coaches give me the chance, I will go into the two matches with everything I have to give Worcester the best chance of winning.

“The play-off matches will be big matches and I think they will be played at Premiership level.”

Creevy scored a try on his Warriors debut against Sale Sharks in the Amlin Challenge Cup in October 2013 and he has played 28 times for the club, scoring three touchdowns.

The 30-year-old has made 15 appearances for Worcester this term and bagged a try in the home win against Yorkshire Carnegie.

Creevy was delighted with Worcester’s 38-15 victory against London Scottish which sealed the club’s place in the Championship play-off final.

“The first match at London Scottish wasn’t good - it was a difficult match because they had strong forwards and controlled that part of the game,” he said.

“Scottish came to play really hard with their forwards in the second leg, too, but we controlled that area and dominated the scrum, drive and rucks. We were aggressive in the tackle and very strong around the breakdown.

“We had been training a lot at the scrum and Mef Davies, our coach, said we needed to be patient - and I thought we had a lot of patience.

“At the first scrum you can normally feel if it’s going to be a difficult day. It wasn’t easy but we worked hard.”

Despite an early injury to full-back Ben Howard and a Scottish try, Creevy felt Worcester kept their composure.

“We knew that it was our mistake that led to Scottish’s first try and we knew we could fix it and we did,” he said.

“Ben is an excellent player and Chris Pennell is, too. But I think we have a strong squad which is important because anyone can get injured.”

Creevy, who is likely to captain the Pumas at the World Cup this autumn, was full of praise for scrum-half Jean-Baptiste Bruzulier (JB) and wing Cooper Vuna.

“JB was excellent against Scottish – he had a really good match with good kicks and he also organised the team well,” he said.

“He hasn’t played a lot of matches but he demonstrated he can play and he’s on the same level as the other nines at the club.”

He added: “Cooper is on another level – he’s an international player and I am really happy he’s in our side.”

“I want to put Worcester back into the top division and we are going to do that – I am sure of it.”
