Jonny Wilkinson and co will once again strut their stuff for fans as the Senior England Elite Player Squad hold their third summer open training day on Wednesday, August 11 at Twickenham Stadium.

England Team Manager Martin Johnson’s men will be training in preparation for their upcoming Investec Internationals against New Zealand, Australia, Samoa and world champions South Africa.

The open sessions have proved to be hugely popular in the past with 3,000 fans attending in 2008 and 4,500 last year. Admission is free and players will stick around afterwards to sign autographs pitch side.

Johnson welcomes the annual event as a chance for his staff to meet the fans, he said: “The open training sessions have proved to be very popular with the fans and the squad.

“It’s a great opportunity for the players, coaches and management to meet the people who follow us every season and we hope to see another big turn out on August 11.”

1.30pm Gates open at Twickenham Stadium
2.30pm England open training starts

The Rugby Store is situated in the South Stand of Twickenham Stadium on the Whitton Road and it will be open from 10.00am on the day of the open training session and throughout the afternoon.

The World Rugby Museum situated in the East Stand will also be open from 10.00am-5.00pm and entrance tickets will be priced at a special one off rate on £1 on August 11.

It was only a point, the smallest margin of victory possible, but a victory it was.

Martin Johnson’s England won in the southern hemisphere for the first time since that wet November night in 2003 and the fact it was against the same opponent made it all the sweeter.

Admittedly England were a tad fortunate as the normally unflappable centre Matt Giteau missed a string of penalties, including one right in front of the posts.

But experience was telling for England as Jonny Wilkinson calmly slotted a penalty to put his team in the lead, and give his side the victory.

Once the mastermind of so many England victories from his iconic No. 4 jersey, Johnson must use this win as a catalyst towards bigger and better things over the next 12 months.

Johnson has at his disposal an exciting mix of youth and experience with stand-in skipper Lewis Moody and a revitalised Jonny Wilkinson starring alongside the likes of Chris Ashton, Ben Foden and the highly impressive Ben Youngs.

In order to have any success in the upcoming autumn internationals, Six Nations and through to the 2011 World Cup, Johnson must turn the winning feeling into a habit rather than a sporadic treat.

If Wilkinson can stay fit and in the form he is in, he could be instrumental to the World Cup dream becoming a reality.

While he will almost certainly feature on a part time basis or as a replacement, his dressing room presence and unerring professionalism will inspire the younger generation.

England face a tough schedule in November, tackling all three southern hemisphere giants as well as the physical Samoans.

This is followed by a Six Nations championship that will provide the last real test before their first pool match of the 2011 World Cup against Argentina on 4th September.

There is little doubt that the win over Australia on Saturday must be thought of as a turning point for England. To be able to compete and to win against a southern-hemisphere team is significant. There is no luck involved. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are in outstanding form at the moment. They do not give you victories, you have to earn them.
We did.

For me it was a little strange going back to the stadium where we won the World Cup seven years ago. I had a look around on Friday before the game when I went to practise kicking. It took me about 20 seconds to work out which end it was. I recognised the changing rooms from the Lions tour in 2001 as well as the World Cup. It was a little bit of a trip down memory lane.

Coming off the bench is quite challenging. You get a little respite on the nerves beforehand because you know you have to hold back on your usual preparations. You can’t be buzzing from minute one, if you peak, the energy you need is spent.

But you do not know when you might be coming on so you have to stay alert, watching every breakdown, looking to see if everyone is all right. As someone who likes to be in control of the match for as much as I can, being on the bench means a hell of a lot goes out of the window.

Converting that penalty in the 53rd minute to make it 21-20 was satisfying. When you get an opportunity you have to go for it. It was nice because these things carry an effect into the game momentum-wise. Looking at the opposition being behind with ten minutes remaining is very different from having to chase the game.

I would like to trust my knowledge of the game after the amount of work I have put into it and you know when you have the makings of a good team. We do.

I have seen it for a while and you have to trust your instinct that you are not wrong.

You can see it in the guys. When we have said in press conferences that you have to learn from defeats, it is exactly that. After a while these things have to fall into place and they did. For us, however, it is not the end of the learning, but we know the process is right. After the first Test, which we lost 27-17 in Perth, we knew we had let ourselves down.

One or two players have also come on. Ben Youngs at scrum half in his first full game knows what needs to be done and is beginning to lead by example. Same deal with Courtney Lawes.

With the World Cup in New Zealand only a little more than a year away the bits are falling into place even if the public did not believe it. Now it is up to us to develop.
