O'Driscoll to play on

Brian O'Driscoll has announced he will keep going for another - and presumably final - year.

I'm very pleased to hear that as it will take him past O'Gara's caps mark (all things being well injury wise) and it would be very sa for his curtain call having been that loss to Italy, his last home game will probbaly be at home to Italy and his last game outright is likely to be at the Stade de France - the scene of possibly his greatest truimph

There's also the possibility of him reaching 50 international tries I guess

Splendid to hear, though I'd rather none of those tries was at Twickenham
