Ireland's Ronan O'Gara hints that he might retire from international rugby after the World Cup.

Ireland's fly-half Ronan O'Gara has suggested that he could retire from international rugby after the World Cup.

The 34-year-old came on as a replacement to kick two penalties in Ireland's historic 15-6 win over Australia in Auckland on Saturday.

Speaking to Irish television after the match, O'Gara hinted that it may be his final tournament with Ireland.

"It's massive, this is it for us, I'm done with Ireland in a few weeks," said O'Gara.

"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 is Ireland's all-time record points scorer with over 1,000 points to his name.

Ireland's next World Cup match is on Sunday, September 25 against Russia.
