This time last year, England secured a record-breaking victory over world champions New Zealand, completing a series full of tension and excitement.
And the 2013 QBE Internationals will again showcase all that’s great about rugby union: dynamic sport in a phenomenal atmosphere uniting fans from across the world.
Match days at Twickenham demonstrate many of rugby’s core values of Teamwork, Respect, Sportsmanship, Discipline and Enjoyment and the QBE Internationals are right up there as they promise another drama filled series, featuring some of the major contenders heading towards the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
With both Australia and New Zealand heading to Twickenham, for sell-out games, there are a limited number of tickets available for the England v Argentina game taking place on Saturday November 9.
England, on the back of a successful summer tour to Argentina, will be wary of the Pumas backlash and the match promises to showcase the best from both nations.
The South Americans are one of the world’s powerhouses on the rugby field after finishing third in the world at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, they are now competing in the Rugby Championship which brings together the best of the southern hemisphere nations and there will be no let up from them as the look to impress their new head coach Daniel Hourcade.
Tickets are available from www.rfu.com/tickets with adults starting at £40 each and juniors at half-price. It promises to be a great day for all the family. Get yours now!
Up first are Australia who, after a tough summer, have shown marked improvement under their new head coach Ewan McKenzie and Tom Youngs, England’s hooker who made waves last season, is looking forward to the challenge.
He said: “England versus Australia has always been a massive rivalry – it was one game last year that dented our confidence a little bit, so we’re certainly looking forward to putting that right this year. We had a good training week in Leeds last week and we’re building towards it now.
“You’re playing for your country – I feel very passionate about that and feel a great amount of pride playing for them.”
