England will return to action in the 2010 Investec Internationals at Twickenham in four compelling fixtures beginning with New Zealand on 6th November with fixture against Australia, Samoa and South Africa to follow on successive weekends.
"It has been a great honour for Investec to be involved with England Rugby over the last ten years," said Investec's head of global marketing, Raymond van Niekerk
"Rugby is close to Investec's heart; a sport where ambition, pride, teamwork and respect combine in a mental as well as physical context. The Investec Internationals are always very challenging and like the fans we are looking forward to some highly competitive rugby come November."
England's manager, Martin Johnson, commented:
"On behalf of the Senior England EPS I'd like to thank Investec for their support of English Rugby over the last ten years. Their investment helps England have the right facilities and environment to develop as a team. The Investec Internationals will be an important step towards the Rugby World Cup in 2011."
Since the first Investec International between England and Australia in November 2000, when England overcame Australia 22 -19, there have been some titanic Twickenham clashes against the Southern Hemisphere teams.
