The scrum-half is not ready to hang the boots up just yet.
So it seems those Peter Stringer to Leinster stories were just that.
The former Munster scrum-half will join Sale Sharks on a one-year contract next season.
The 37-year-old, who is currently chasing Aviva Premiership glory with Bath, will move to the northwest of England for what will be his 19th season of professional rugby.
Sale’s director of rugby, Steve Diamond said, ‘Once I heard that Peter was looking for a new club I made my move and I am delighted he has decided to join us.
‘He, like Chris Cusiter, has bags of experience and I am sure he will be a great addition to our squad.
,Peter will also be able to assist youngster James Mitchell who is improving all the time and will no doubt be fighting for a place in the team soon.’
