England begin their rugby union autumn international series this afternoon against Tonga

It's the first of three matches at Twickenham this month.

Before that Ireland start against Japan in Dublin.

Wales face a tough test in bouncing back from a heavy defeat to New Zealand in their opener when they host world champions South Africa.

Stay tuned to Jackie for travel news as roads around the stadium are expected to be very heavy. 

Kick off is 3.15 and 82,000 people are expected. 

If pedestrian and vehicular traffic conditions require, temporary road closures will be put in place in a number of roads around the stadium before kick off and after the final whistle. 

Roads that could be affected include Rugby Road, Whitton Road (between London Road and Kneller Road), and London Road (between King Street and Whitton Road).

Closures typically take place around 1.5 to 2 hours before and after an event. 

The timings and duration will depend on the level of pedestrian traffic and the time of the event.
