Ireland's record points scorer Ronan O'Gara has hinted that he will retire after the Rugby World Cup, ending his 11-year international career.
The 34-year-old Munster fly-half came off the bench to kick two late penalties on Saturday in Ireland's 15-6 win over Australia in Auckland.
O'Gara, twice a Heineken Cup winner, was close to tears after the game.
"It's massive, this is it for us, I'm done with Ireland in a few weeks," he told Irish television.
He added: "I've had a great time in this jersey but I want this to be the biggest time. It's a great team, a great bunch of lads and it means a lot to us."
O'Gara has scored more than 1,000 points for Ireland, almost twice as many as any other player and is one of only three players to have won over 100 caps for the country - his 113 appearances second only to captain Brian O'Driscoll.
The US-born kicker, who has been vying with Leinster's Jonny Sexton for the Irish number 10 jersey over the past two seasons, dropped a dramatic last-minute goal against Wales two years ago to seal Ireland's first Six Nations grand slam since 1948.
