Rugby World Cup 2015: England ready to kick-start World Cup

England will kick off the eighth Rugby World Cup on Friday when they take                                              on Fiji at Twickenham




The hosts are intending to rehash their achievement of 2003, when Jonny Wilkinson's sensational drop-objective saw them get to be champions for the main time. 

Around 2.3 million of the 2.45 million tickets have been sold for 48 diversions. 


New Zealand are protecting champions, Wales are in a focused pool with England and Australia, while Ireland and Scotland likewise plan to advance      Notwithstanding fourth-positioned England and fifth-positioned Wales, who meet in a tremendously imperative match on the second few days of the competition, Pool A contains two more sides in the main nine of the world rankings - second-set Australia and Fiji. 

The 20-group World Cup, which keeps running until 31 October, will occur in stadiums crosswise over England and at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff
