The Rugby World Cup kicks off tonight, with hosts England playing Fiji in the first match at Twickenham. 20 teams are involved in the tournament, which runs until October 31. Defending champions New Zealand head into the event as favourites, while former winners South Africa, England and Australia are also tipped to do well. The majority of the games take place on English soil, but Cardiff's Millennium Stadium will host a number of matches.
