Rugby Championship set for Europe debut

The Rugby Championship comes to Europe for the first time when Argentina and Australia face each at Twickenham Stadium in London on Saturday October 8.

London - The Rugby Championship comes to Europe for the first time when Argentina and Australia face each other in a repeat of last year's Rugby World Cup Semi Final at Twickenham Stadium in London on Saturday October 8 at 7.30pm.

The match will be the final game of the 2016 tournament, so both sides could be fighting for glory when they head for the UK and the Pumas will be out for revenge as they aim to topple the Wallabies, the current Rugby Championship title holders.

Australia's European stars are also set to return to action for The Rugby Championship campaign after the 3-0 series loss to England in June.

Head coach Michael Cheika is poised to welcome back big guns like Matt Giteau, Will Genia, Drew Mitchell and Adam Ashley-Cooper, alongside Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, David Pocock and Michael Hooper. - African News Agency (ANA)
