Strengths: A flash of a pass and a telepathic understanding with O'Gara has meant Stringer has played in 67 or Ireland's last 72 tests.

Weaknesses: Does not pose too much of a threat around the base and consequently opposition back rows tend to focus their attention elsewhere. Improving in this aspect though.

Likely headline(s): Stringer hanging on by a thread. Strung along.

Did you know?: Stringer and O'Gara have started a record 37 Tests together and Stringer is Ireland's most capped scrum-half.
