WHILE PETER STRINGER’S first-ever appearance for the Barbarians at the weekend was mainly one to forget, there was one memorable moment in which the scrum-half demonstrated his trademark wit.
Having just scored a try, Australia’s James O’Connor took a rather ponderous run up for his attempt at a conversion.
Stringer, sensing an opportunity, nipped in and grasped the ball before O’Connor could make contact with it – an action that is well within the rules of game.
Unfortunately for the Baa-Baas’ fans, it was an all-too-rare moment worth cheering for, as they were comprehensively beaten 60-11 by their Australian opponents.

Little Genius,,,even O’Connor appreciated it!!
Brilliant. It’s always the Irish man to come up with the quick wit.
You’ve gotta hand it to stringer. I love rugby for stuff like this. If it was soccer there would be handbags.
Where’s the video?
Should be there now David.
