Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll admits that he could retire before the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll has admitted that he is 'unlikely' to play any part in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

The 33-year-old Leinster centre was in London as the draw for the World Cup was made on Monday, with Ireland being drawn alongside France and Italy.

"It's weird, coming in I was very relaxed, no pressure's on it because I don't for a second anticipate that I'll have any involvement," he told the Irish Independent.

"But something stirs you deep down. I think it's probably 18 months too far."

O'Driscoll has made 120 appearances for his country.
