Twickenham is Pitch Perfect for Rugby

Full Back Fire Protection to England’s home of Rugby

Twickenham Stadium opened in 1909 and was built by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to host England matches. Since then the Stadium has hosted hundreds of matches and grown in capacity to 82,000. Twickenham is now considered the most iconic rugby stadium in the world.

When suggestions were first made for a national rugby stadium to be built in Twickenham many in the Rugby Football Union felt it was too far from central London.
