Picture of Peter Stringer and his lookalike brothers leaves people in stitches

People have been left in stitches after a picture of former Ireland rugby star Peter Stringer with his brothers started making the rounds on social media - with some fans not being able to get around which one is the former scrum-half.

The photo, which was posted on Twitter and Reddit, showed Peter alongside his brothers David, George and John as well as his father, also named John. All of the brothers and the Stringer patriarch are lined up dressed in suits looking dapper, and extremely similar.

Although now a personal trainer, Stringer is well known as one of the greatest scrum halves to play on the Irish team, but despite his notoriety, fans have been stumped about which one in the picture is Peter.

Posting the pic on Twitter, Leinster Rugby referee Audrey Fulham tweeted: "Just remembering that Peter Stringer's brothers look more like Peter Stringer than Peter Stringer."

The post garnered a massive amount of attention with one person commenting: "Peter Stringer came 3rd in the Peter Stringer lookalike competition."

While another added: "Peter Stringer came 3rd in the Peter Stringer lookalike competition."

One more jokingly made an Eminem reference, commenting: "Will the real Peter Stringer please stand up?"

The photo has also been making the rounds on Reddit, with one user commenting: “I saw Peter Stringer on a night out in Cork years ago. Now I’m not so sure it was actually him!”

Another added: “I’m like 60% sure the second from the left is him and the other 40% is on the very right.”

While one more posted: “He's either 2nd left or furthest right. I'll go with 2nd left.”

Another joked: “Lad I've a charity gig in Cork can you fill in for me? I'm doing one the same night in Sligo. I'll throw ye 100 cheers".

More shared in on the fun in the comments, with one other person posting: “Jesus there's no way I could pick the real Stringer out of that lineup. Is this AI or something?”

By the way, if you haven’t guessed by now - he is the second from the left.
