Been waiting FOREVER for a rugby game with online play, this is it.

All the E.A rugby games have been total pap and the last decent rugby game I remember was Rugby Challenge 2006 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_Challenge_2006

Although it shares a similiar name, they are not related.

Doesn't look that great.

Was released a ~month ago in other continents. Everyone was slating it because of the ridiculous number of offloads you can do.

Dunno whether they've changed anything in the 1 month we've been waiting for it.

I am so much better at rugby in real life..........and i seriously suck at that!

It is a pretty fun game. Pretty sure it would be a lot better if you knew all the controls

The tutorials are worthwhile.

Role on the mods.

Speedy Pete · 14 Oct 2011 at 01:41

I seriously couldnt do that tutorial where you get caught up 1 on 1 try to push him back but then you add two of your m8s to help you.
Got gold in all the others and still no go on this one.... i press A and nobody joins... LOL
