Rugby fans will be pleased to know it's only a month before the Rugby World Cup kicks off!

The famous tournament began in 1987, and England have won only once, in 2003.

Matches within the tournament will be played all over the UK, with Wembley Stadium and Twickenham Stadium among the venues playing host. Twickenham Stadium will host 10 matches during the tournament, including the final.

A spokesman for Hounslow Council said: "Hounslow is looking forward to giving a warm welcome to the many hundreds of thousands of fans that will descend on Twickenham from around the world.

"The borough is also hoping Rugby World Cup 2015 will encourage more local people to take up the sport. Rugby is already popular in Hounslow schools, but the council hopes the tournament will inspire more youngsters to get involved and join a local club as well."

This year, the Rugby World Cup will run from Friday September 18 to Saturday October 31.
