Drico to retire 2014?

[irelandfan123]

Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll has hinted at a possible retirement date after stating that the 2015 World Cup is “18 months too farâ€.The World Cup begins in mid-September 2015 and O’Driscoll’s comment would indicate that he intends to retire at the end of the 2013/2014 season.
Speaking after the RWC 2015 draw in London, the 33-year-old Leinster and Lions player said: “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.
"But something stirs you deep down. I think it’s probably 18 months too far.â€

The end might be coming for Ireland's greatest player, what does this say for the Irish 13 position in the future? Should we start preparing now or play him until 2014?

He'll say that but someone like Drico doesn't just quit I think. He'll either retire on a high or be told by the doctors he has to.
