Next stop Newcastle for on-loan Peter Stringer

Falcons to welcome Munster man to Tyneside when Saracens tenure ends next month.

MUNSTER HAVE CONFIRMED that Peter Stringer will move to Newcastle Falcons in early March on loan.

The former Ireland scrum-half is currently playing with Saracens in a similar arrangement.

He is expected to be available for the Falcons ahead of their home game against Harlequins on 12 March.

“Peter has been a brilliant addition to the squad, on and off the field, and we are sorry his three-month loan spell will come to an end after our match against Northampton on 4 March,” said Mark McCall, Saracens director of rugby.

Stringer moved to the English side in December, having fallen down the pecking order at Thomond Park.
