Synopsis

When Peter Stringer played youth rugby, he was so small that people told his parents he shouldn't be allowed on the pitch. Fortunately for Munster and for Ireland, they paid no attention. Over 200 provincial caps and 98 international caps later, Stringer is a legend.

Since making his Munster debut in 1998, his lightning-quick passing, sniping breaks and brave defending have electrified fans - never more so than when he deceived the entire Biarritz team at a scrum to sneak in for the try that brought Munster its first Heineken Cup in 2006. In Ireland's breakthrough season of 2009, his man-of-the-match performance at Murrayfield helped overturn a late deficit en route to the Six Nations Grand Slam.

Now, for the first time, Peter Stringer tells his own story - a story of overcoming the odds, and a story every Irish rugby fan will want to read.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

When Peter Stringer played youth rugby, he was so small that people told his parents they were irresponsible to let him play. Fortunately for fans of Munster and Ireland, they paid no attention. Over 200 provincial caps and 98 international caps later, Stringer is a legend.His lightning-quick passing, sniping breaks and brave defending have electrified fans - never more so than when he scored the crucial try in the 2006 Heineken Cup final, bringing Munster their first European title after years of near misses. In Ireland's breakthrough season of 2009, his man-of-the-match performance at Murrayfield helped overturn a late deficit en route to the Grand Slam. For a decade, he was synonymous with the scrum-half position in Irish rugby.
Now, for the first time, Peter Stringer tells his own story - the story of a man who, driven by a pure love for rugby, has overcome the odds at every turn. He provides insight into the dynamics and personalities that made Munster great and that brought Ireland to levels of excellence never before seen. He writes frankly about his relationships with his coaches for province and country, and about the obsessional training methods that have kept him playing top-flight rugby in his late thirties. Pulling the Strings is the testament of an utterly distinctive player and personality, a must-read for every Irish rugby fan.
