O'Driscoll: I want to play in a winning Lions team
Brian O'Driscoll has said he will wait until July before deciding whether or not he will retire.
The Leinster and Ireland centre said that he is not under any massive pressure to make a decision and will see what happens over the next few months
O'Driscoll said: "Who knows what the final act will be in my career. I just have to play it out this season and see how things unfold. Then I'll make a call after that.
"I'm not under any massive pressure to make a decision. I will see what happens over the next few months and take a look at things in July."
The three-time Heineken cup winner, who captained the Lions in 2005, said he would love to be part of the tour this year.
He said he wants to be part of a winning Lions squad and thinks the side being put together by Warren Gatland is capable of doing that in Australia.
He said: "It's not a question of me having some unfinished business after 2001, I just want to play in a winning Lions team.
"You can't really allow yourself to think too much about Lions selection in April. It is a serious time of the season for a lot of players and certain players will be hopeful of getting selected. But you just have to keep on trying to improve and make a few more headaches for the coaches.
"It is the last chance to leave a lasting impression and I will be no different to any other player in that respect this month. You mustn't over think it, just get on with what you do week in, week out."
O'Driscoll is back from suspension for next Saturday's meeting with Munster in the RaboDirect Pro 12 at Thomond Park with the visitors still pushing for a home semi-final and the Reds effectively out of the running for a play-off spot.
