Brian O'Driscoll says he will wait until July before deciding whether or not he will retire.

The Leinster and Ireland centre has told the Lions website that he is not under any massive pressure to make a decision and will see what happens over the next few months

The three-time Heineken cup winner who Captained the Lions in 2005 says he would love to be part of the tour this year.

The 34-year-old says 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 is back from suspension for next Saturdays meeting with Munster in the Rabo Direct Pro 12 at Thomond Park with the visitors still pushing for a home semi final but the Reds are effectively out of the running for a play-off spot.
