The media can now apply for accreditation for upcoming fixtures at Twickenham Stadium, including the QBE Internationals, through the RFU’s online system: www.englandrugby.com/pressaccreditation
The dates of these fixtures and the deadlines for applications are detailed below. The system closes eight days prior to match day. Requests made after the deadlines will not be accepted.
Twickenham stadium annual pass holders must still register their attendance on the system.
