The performance came on the back of a 32-19 win over South Africa, and captain Creevy sees definite signs of progress under coach Mario Ledesma.

"We feel good, we feel strong, we will continue. We had a lot of opportunities and we had a good result. We need to improve, we are building a good team, good rugby."
