3 Things To Know About Santiago Carreras, Argentina And Bath Rugby Star

Santiago Carreras has become one of the most versatile and dynamic backs in world rugby. Known for his ability to play fly half, fullback or wing, Carreras is equally capable of dictating play as a playmaker or producing moments of individual brilliance as a counter-attacker. 

With Bath Rugby in the PREM and Los Pumas on the international stage, he stands at the center of two high-profile campaigns this season.

Carreras’ journey to the top has been defined by adaptability. He first emerged as a key figure for Argentina during the 2019 Rugby World Cup, and over the last five years has transitioned from outside back to one of the side’s primary fly halves. That evolution has given Argentina more tactical options, while also sharpening Carreras’ reputation as a player who thrives under pressure.

In the PREM, Carreras recently joined Bath, adding depth and creativity to a backline already fueled by Finn Russell and Ollie Lawrence. Bath’s historic 2024–25 treble means expectations are higher than ever, and Carreras’ signing was designed to keep the club among the league’s elite. His ability to slot into multiple roles makes him one of the most important acquisitions of the season.

On Sept. 27, Carreras will once again wear Argentina’s No. 10 jersey in the Rugby Championship, where Los Pumas face South Africa in a crucial fixture. That match streams live in the United States on FloRugby and the FloSports app, giving fans the chance to see Carreras in action against one of the world’s most physical sides.

Santiago Carreras’ Shift From Fullback To Fly Half

Carreras’ transition from the back three into a fly half role has redefined Argentina’s attack. Originally viewed as a counter-attacking runner, he has developed a reliable kicking game and improved his game management, making him a dual threat. “He’s a natural footballer who reads the game well,” Argentina head coach Michael Cheika said in a 2024 press conference.

New Chapter At Bath Rugby

Bath’s signing of Carreras is one of the headline moves of the Premiership offseason. After winning the Premiership title, the Challenge Cup and the Premiership Cup in 2025, Bath bolstered their squad to ensure depth for a long season. Carreras provides cover for Finn Russell while also competing for a spot in the back three, making him one of the most versatile players in the league.

Key Role For Argentina In 2025 Rugby Championship

Carreras’ importance to Argentina cannot be overstated. As the starting fly half in the Rugby Championship, he will be tasked with leading the Pumas against rugby’s top three nations. His playmaking against South Africa this weekend could determine whether Argentina maintains momentum in a fiercely competitive tournament. Fans in the U.S. can watch Argentina vs. South Africa live on FloRugby and the FloSports app.
