REVIEW
Rucking great!!!!!!! As a passionate rugby supporter and player, this version was a huge improvemnt on the version released in 2004. It is extremely challenging. The graphics are also very good and it is obvious that time has been put into recreating world famous stadiums to the very last detail, as well as the teams around today.
I definately recommend this game for any person, interested in this sport.

REVIEW
From Someone Who Knew Nothing of Rugby I have to admit, right off the bat, that I knew very little to nothing about rugby before buying this game. That's half the reason I bought it, really. I can't stand not knowing how to play a sport.
So I bought the game, knowing nothing about the sport, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The introduction to the game is fairly good. Being as I'm entirely a beginner, I made use of the Rugby 101, and within a few hours I understood the game. I'm sure I don't have everything down yet, but it's quite easy for a newcomer to the sport to play and enjoy this game.
The engine runs well, and the graphics are superb. Another great sports game from EA Sports.
