Veteran scrum half Peter Stringer has found himself a new home
By Peter Thompson
Worcester Warriors have signed former Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer on a six-month deal.
Stringer left Sale Sharks at the end of last season and arrives at Sixways Stadium as cover for Francois Hougaard, who will be on international duty with South Africa for the first half of the new Premiership campaign.
The 39-year-old, who has 98 Test caps to his name, will again link up with former Munster and Ireland team-mate and Warriors captain Donncha O'Callaghan.
Stringer told Worcester's official website: "I'm looking forward to meeting all the lads and being reunited with Donncha.
"I'm feeling as fit and ready as ever and am genuinely excited about getting back on the field as I feel I still have plenty to offer."
Warriors director of rugby Gary Gold added: "Peter is an experienced number nine who will play a key role in the absence of Francois.
"He's in incredible physical shape for someone of 39 years of age, and he is an outstanding role model for our younger players."

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
