5 Things to Know About Twickenham Stadium

It will be the second time that Twickenham Stadium has hosted an International Series game. The venue hosted the Giants and Rams this season.

Here are five things to know about Twickenham Stadium:

1. Home of England Rugby

The Rugby Football Union purchased the land for £5,500 in 1907, and the first rugby match was played in 1909, featuring the Harlequins and Richmond. The Harlequins won 14-10 on Oct. 9 in front of fewer than 2,000 spectators.

The stadium has since been expanded and includes the World Rugby Museum in the East Stand.
