Jonny Wilkinson and former England coach Sir Clive Woodward are among the lineup for ITV's coverage of this year's World Cup on home soil.
Wilkinson and Woodward will join fellow 2003 England World Cup winner Lawrence Dallaglio on the studio panel, while ex-Wales and Ireland captains Gareth Thomas and Brian O'Driscoll will also be part of the coverage.
"A Rugby World Cup hosted by England is a once in a generation event and it's our privilege as the exclusive television broadcaster to bring viewers the full impact of all the action and emotion throughout what we hope will be an unforgettable tournament," PA Sport quotes ITV director of sport Niall Sloane as saying.
"We believe we've assembled a world-class line up of rugby talent who, through their own expertise, experience and sheer passion for the game can help deliver the best possible coverage for those watching at home."
George Gregan, Sir Ian McGeechan, Francois Pienaar, Michael Lynagh, Sean Fitzpatrick and David Flatman are also included in the punditry lineup.
John Inverdale will present ITV's coverage of the tournament, which begins on September 18.
