The Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll has signed a new one-year deal to play on for Ireland and Leinster.
The 34-year-old had been widely tipped to hang up his boots following the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia next month.
O'Driscoll made his senior Ireland and Leinster debuts in 1999, and has gone on to play 125 times for Ireland and 172 times for Leinster.
