Hero Mark Wilson hopes the fans can thrill such as Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle United if they face Italy at St James’ Park on Friday.
It’s the first they’ve hosted out Twickenham, along with the very first time England have played a Test match in the north-east.
Originally from Cumbria, Wilson is a”honorary Geordie” having played over 200 times for Newcastle Falcons.
“North-east lovers want to be entertained,” Wilson told BBC Sport.
“That’s the big factor for them. [You believe ] back in the nineties when Newcastle football were at their best – .
“Hopefully we could entertain them Friday night.”
Wilson, 29, combined Newcastle’s academy as a 14-year-old prior to making his debut in 2010.
He will go on loan to Sale following the Rugby World Cup.
He says English rugby must continue to encourage the match and feels the next generation might inspire.
“It is important we still get behind rugby in the northwest,” he added.
“It’s crazy to think [there is a Exam in Newcastle] – when I was a kid the only means to watch England was down in Twickenham.
“So for a lot of those north-east lovers they are totally going to be pretty excited about watching England in their doorstep.
“St James’ Park is a class place to perform with, and the atmosphere is excellent. Hopefully people will come from their numbers and fulfill it.”
