England take on Australia in the opening Investec Challenge Autumn Rugby International at Twickenham. In the corresponding fixture in 2008, the Wallabies beat England 28-14 to put to bed their narrow loss a year earlier in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Martin Johnson's side will hope to kick off their season on a high and the first of three Autumn fixtures should be a good platform ahead of the 2010 Six Nations tournament. Matches between Australia and England are always a feisty affair, however, and given the amount of Antipodeans in the capital, expect this one to be a clash to savour. The second and third games of the autumn series are against Argentina and the world's best team New Zealand.
