In February 2000 he made his debut for Ireland against Scotland in the Six Nations Championship. Has lately declined into a shambles of a scrum-half, having neglected his one commendable talent (a quick, accurate pass) in an effort to expand his game and win a place on the Lions' tour of New Zealand. This period of self-improvement went disastrously wrong, merely serving to highlight Stringer's poor kicking, running, defending, and general rugby playing abilities. His Ireland career is now on borrowed time, as Ireland waits for short-sighted, overly conservative coaches to finally give up on wee Peter and actually employ the services of a decent scrum-half. Brian O'Riordan of Leinster and Tomas O'Leary seem most likely to benefit. The sooner the better.
Highlights of Peter's career thus far include: Allowing Neil Back to slap the ball out of his hand at Munster's last attacking opportunity in the Heineken Cup final, and more recently, being thrown to the ground like a rag doll by his opposite number Piri Weepu during the Ireland - New Zealand game.
