BBC commentator Brian Moore has revealed that he has been snubbed for ITV's coverage of the Rugby World Cup due to his controversial nature.
Moore has established himself as one of the BBC's leading rugby commentators in recent years, but he confirmed via Twitter that he will not be involved in the World Cup this autumn.
He said: "I've been told I'm too controversial for TV World Cup coverage; too crap I could take but controversial - b-------."
ITV has revealed that 2003 World Cup winners Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Jason Robinson and Sir Clive Woodward will front their coverage, along with Irishman Brian O'Driscoll and presenter John Inverdale.
ITV will show all 48 games exclusively live.
