England will kick off the eighth Rugby World Cup today when they take on Fiji at Twickenham.
The hosts are aiming to repeat their success of 2003, when Jonny Wilkinson's dramatic drop-goal saw them become champions for the only time. About 2.3 million of the 2.45 million tickets have been sold for 48 games. New Zealand are defending champions, Wales are in a competitive pool with England and Australia, while Ireland and Scotland also hope to progress.
