Just shows why Stringer is still relevant. he's in great shape and has years of experience. He's seen it all, done it all, had it all done to him (Neil Back!), and is able to pass that onto his team. There's definitely a career for him in coaching when he hangs up his boots.

I first seen Peter Stringer play in 1997. My son was born the same year. My spn is 20 now and plays rugbt in Ireland. Peter is still playing and looks as fit as ever.

[@Bestios10]

Heels, ideal rugby footwear.

my Daughter is 5 and just started her in rugby tots/ little Ruggers up the road at Pavior's in Nottingham. This video is this weekends homework...Cheers Peter

[@colmcronin7306]

Stringer loving the bath incident being brought up....fell well flat...

[@johnc7385]

3:09 Stringer not Impressed at all!

[@vonteflon]

2:00 - I don't think I've ever seen a scrumhalf do this. In the level I play at, I'm fairly sure the ref would ping him for something or other.

[@Fr0styIsHere]

vonteflon it's legal but dodgy, some refs call it some don't

[@TroyaE117]

A great player.

[@andymcc1981]

"Austin Healey is hilarious"....said nobody, ever.

[@vonteflon]

+andymcc1981 Bollocks. He *is* fucking hilarious.

[@frankkrank3970]

said nobody...John Eales?

[@10pennysweets]

I was never aware of the technicalities of this position.

[@kieranrourke4733]

what are you on about?

[@Albusdumbledore840]

There is way more to it

[@araregoodguy]

Just retired, great player!

[@slaaynz9767]

Got told I can’t go past the flanker is that true? cause I usually follow behind the ball as a scrum half defender...

[@basdenuijl4270]

That is true, the law has changed ;-)

[@gregoryleroy5646]

This presenter is obsessed with forwards in the scrum trying to tap the ball. Peter just said legally no one can obstruct from placing the ball in...jeeez

[@johnenright]

feckin Neil Back......

[@tonymccartan5469]

Never seen a scrum half sneak into a scrum. Trapping yourself in a scrum seems abit daft to me

[@mostlyH20]

'not get the ball knocked out of his hands'.........or someone does a Neil Back!

[@jazzyjeff19]

i caught that too. Thought it was pretty cheeky that he brought that up :)

[@johnadams20132013]

Austin Healey hasn't a clue

[@peterbayerl338]

ist gesunt

[@JohnSmith-sw6uv]

Peter hasn't much of a cork accent

[@denisemccarthy5384]

The cork accent has weakened, it’s still distinct but it sounds a lot different.

[@ThomasTheWankEngine1]

Not these days... Feeds level with the looseheads feet... Totally skewed these days. Same as the lineout... Not rugby like it was...
