Brian Moore has been a mainstay of the BBC’s Six Nations coverage

Moore is the latest mainstay of the BBC’s rugby coverage to step aside, with John Inverdale and Jeremy Guscott also leaving. Moore, 60, will continue to commentate on the women’s game for the BBC, however.
"My England career began with a Calcutta Cup, and my BBC co-comms career on the Men's 6 Nations will end on Saturday with another," Moore said on Twitter on Thursday.
"Thank you to all at BBC Sport, especially my mate, Eddie Butler. It's been a privilege to work on some unforgettable sporting occasions.”

He added: “I’m pleased to say I will be working on the Women’s 6 Nations coverage. My commitment to women’s rugby goes back as far as 1991, helping the England forwards. Women’s rugby is the key to sustaining all rugby long term, and I’m proud to still be involved.”
Gabby Logan is set to lead the BBC’s Six Nations coverage this year, which will also feature the likes of ex-England captains Martin Johnson and Dylan Hartley and former Wales skipper Sam Warburton.
