Ireland's record points scorer Ronan O'Gara said he would be "done with Ireland" after the World Cup, signalling his retirement from international rugby.
The 34-year-old Munster flyhalf has been a fixture in the Ireland side for 11 years.
He came off the substitutes' bench to kick two crucial late penalties on Saturday as Ireland beat Australia 15-6 in Auckland to go top of Pool C at the World Cup in New Zealand.
O'Gara's successful kicks further increased his Irish record to 1,039 points.
"It's massive, this is it for us, I'm done with Ireland in a few weeks," O'Gara told Ireland's RTE state television in an emotional interview.
"I've had a great time in this jersey but I want this to be the biggest time. It's a great team, a great bunch of lads and it means a lot to us."
O'Gara is one of only three players to have won more than 100 Ireland caps.
He has won the European Cup twice and is the tournament's record points scorer.
