Munster cut still hurts Stringer

Peter Stringer is thankful Bath rescued him from “oblivion” at Munster after feeling he was unfairly ignored by Rob Penney and Simon Mannix.

The iconic Irish scrum-half is grateful to Gary Gold, head coach at the Aviva Premiership club, for believing in him and helping prolong his professional career.

Stringer says he is bitterly disappointed to have been forced to look for acclaim abroad rather than finish his career in Ireland. His predicament, much to the chagrin of Munster fans, began last season when outgoing Munster coach Tony McGahan allowed the experienced player move on loan to Saracens and Newcastle.
