Peter Stringer finishes off a length-of-the-field Bath try against Leicester

The 36-year-old former Munster scrum-half is still in fine form.

Rugby Union - Aviva Premiership - Bath Rugby v Leicester Tigers - Recreation Ground Stringer stretches to score his second-half try. David Davies David Davies

BATH’S 45-0 victory over Leicester in the Aviva Premiership was one of the most notable results of the weekend in European rugby, and all the better for a try from 36-year-old Peter Stringer.

The former Munster scrum-half came off the bench during the rout, making his third appearance of the season and demonstrating that he is as fit and sharp as ever.

Stringer scored the final try of the game, getting on the end of a sweeping Bath move that he kick-started himself by popping a loose ball to rampaging wing Semesa Rokoduguni, who broke the Leicester line.

Check out the score from around 1:45 in the video above, or watch the rest of the tries from Bath’s impressive win.

    Chelsea? Really? Really? Really? They are a shambles!!
    And City Have the talent but not the squad debth or manager?
    City have great players but they are are terrrible team. Maybe if they got jose in this summer, but if they stick with mancini they won’t go far!

    That is such a good goal. One of the best I’ve ever seen, connects with the ball so sweetly. Last season he was my favourite player this year I despise him and the little boy inside too. But oh god how I miss him. Jealousy is a cruel cruel mistress. Well done to United. Won it in style in fairness. There’s always next season
