Stringer: Don’t write me off

AT 33 the pain of exclusion should be greater than ever. But it’s not.

Peter Stringer’s international rugby career should be over after he missed out on the cut for Ireland’s 2011 Rugby World Cup; just don’t suggest that to him.

Things don’t quite look so good right now. He’s out of the international loop after amassing an incredible 98 caps and his contract with the IRFU runs out at the end of the season.
