In case you weren't aware, Peter Stringer is still highly thought of by the Irish rugby public.
He was part of the Bath team that played Leinster in the Champions Cup quarterfinal in Lansdowne Road this afternoon.
The Irish and Munster legend might have expected an unpopular reaction to his appearance in the game from the Leinster fans, but what happened instead might just restore some of your faith in sports fans:
