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.About Twickenham Stadium
The home of English rugby at Twickenham is England's second largest stadium (after Wembley Stadium), with steeply banked stands that create an impressive roar when an international match is in progress. While rugby remains very much a second-choice sport in the rest of southern England, the stadium has had a profound effect on the whole surrounding area: Twickenham is the only part of London where the pubs will show rugby matches in preference to football, and where you're far more likely to hear Swing Low, Sweet Chariot than any football club songs.
