Help for Heroes Challenge Match
On Saturday 20th September, Twickenham will host the Help for Heroes Challenge Match, raising money for the Tri-Services Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court in Surrey. Teams will contain big name players from England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, Combined Services players and likeminded players from around the world.

The idea of Mark Souster, Rugby Correspondent for The Times, the Help for Heroes Challenge Match will emphasise the special relationship between rugby and the Armed Forces and, given the current prominence of the military in the UK media, what better way to recognise them than a rugby match at Twickenham?
To assist in organising the event, Mark has harnessed the enthusiasm of former England international Simon Halliday and Adam Cocks, a member of the HAC, who was wounded in Afghanistan and is now a patient at Headley Court.
The goal of the match is to raise £1 million to fund a specific capital project at Headley Court.
So, if you want to help the best way will be to buy tickets.
