McCall keen to extend Stringer’s loan spell at Saracens

PETER STRINGER’S Heineken Cup run with Saracens might be extended following the London club’s success in securing a home quarter-final with a gruelling away victory over Benetton Treviso yesterday.

Stringer was originally signed from Munster on a three-month loan deal and played in all of Saracens’ last four Pool matches and helped the English club through by saving a certain try midway through the second half.

The Irish international was to the forefront of most of his side’s attacking threats as Treviso threatened to spoil the party. Saracens needed at least a losing bonus point to secure a quarter-final spot but Stringer helped them do better through a 26-20 win.
