Peters scored a particularly memorable try in 1995 vs Wales at Murrayfield. Doddie Weir collected a loose kick deep inside the Scottish half, he set off like, in the words of the late Bill McLaren, “a mad giraffe”. When the Weirs’s path was eventually blocked, he fed Kenny Logan whose mazy run made the try. Logan weaved his way past numerous Welsh defenders deep into the opposition’s territory before one of them finally slowed his run. Peters loomed large on his shoulder and took the pass to then score to the delight of the home crowd to finish Murrayfield’s more memorable tries.

Retiring from professional rugby in 2003, Peters became a Chartered Surveyor and Senior Associate at property consultants King Sturge, for whom he still plays rugby sevens, helping them win the RICS tournament 3 years in a row.
