World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward has given his support to the Help for Heroes match to be played at Twickenham Stadium on September 20, kick-off 2.30pm.

The match between Lawrence Dallaglio's Help for Heroes XV and Jonah Lomu's International XV will be raise funds for the rehabilitation of injured service personnel who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And Woodward, who is now the director of elite performance for the British Olympic Association, said: "I will be attending the Help for Heroes match on September 20 with my wife Jayne.

"It's a day I'm really looking forward to and I hope as big a crowd as possible turn up to support such a great cause and raise as much money as possible for our injured service personnel.

"I've returned from Beijing where the Great Britain team won a huge number of medals and arrived back to a heroes welcome. They and I would be the first to admit however that the real heroes are the ones that serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and areas of conflict around the world.

"My thoughts are with them and I look forward to meeting members of the armed forces at the game."

As well as Dallaglio and Lomu, the likes of Martin Johnson, Martin Offiah, Will Greenwood, Richard Hill, Kenny Logan, Scott Gibbs, Jeremy Paul and Colin Charvis have agreed to play in the match.

Help for Heroes XV: Lawrence Dallaglio, Martin Johnson, Dan Luger, Martin Offiah, Will Greenwood, Paul Volley, Mark Regan and Richard Hill.

International XV: Scott Gibbs, Kenny Logan, Jonah Lomu, Zak Feaunati, Gordon Bulloch, Dave Hilton, Jeremy Paul and Colin Charvis.
