England's visit to Newcastle gives many supporters a first chance to see them in action live.
Dad Adrian and daughter Hollie have never been to a rugby match before, not even at club level, so they're jumping right in at the deep end.
They're from Sheffield so used to be football fans but Adrian made the switch to rugby a few years ago because of "footballers falling over too much".
I'm with you Adrian.

From one South African winger to another, news has broken today that former Springbok Chester Williams has died.
Williams was the only black player in the side which beat New Zealand in the World Cup final on home soil in 1995.
He passed away from a heart attack in Cape Town on Friday afternoon, aged 49.

Whenever I think of Italian rugby, my mind automatically turns to the colossus that is Sergio Parisse.
But the Italian skipper is being rested tonight as head coach Conor O'Shea makes 11 changes to the side that was beaten 47-19 by France last week.
New Zealand-born lock Dean Budd will lead the side, while Gloucester scrum-half Callum Braley, who captained England Under-20s to World Championship victory in 2014, makes his first start for Italy.

It’s definitely an unusual feeling seeing so many England shirts outside of Twickenham - but good preparation for a World Cup.
Organisers have tried to recreate some of that south west London magic with a fan zone in front of St James’ Park.
It doesn’t look like much, but to be fair I did take this picture four hours before kick-off...

So how have England being getting on with their preparations?
Well Eddie Jones and his players fly out to Japan on Sunday after an encouraging warm-up schedule.
England beat Wales and Ireland at home although they did fall to defeat in the cauldron at the Principality in Cardiff.
Victory this evening will be a third win in four warm-ups before the 2003 winners begin their campaign against Tonga on 22 September in Sapporo.
