4.0 out of 5 stars Rugby on the Box!, May 15, 2007

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

With great anticipation I waited for this game, only to find that it was not supported on my XBox 360! Luckily I still have the old standard Xbox and it's a good thing I do. I really enjoyd the game, though the players are a bit small, even on my large screen TV. It is a complicated game (as is the real version)and it can be hard to control, but once you get the hang of it is is a blast. I wish there was the ability to play online, and an XBOX 360 version would be even better, but I owuld reccoemnd this for hardcore Rugby fans....just wish Ireland's Call played at the beginning of the Celtic Tiger's matches!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game of rugby, March 11, 2008

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game rocks! As a rugby player, I can attest that this game is so much better than Rugby '05. Passing out of a tackle is a great addition as well as the ability to take a quick penalty. The gameplay is close to the real deal, my biggest gripe is switching defenders. Sometimes it switches to the guy who's not in the best position to tackle, and you'll go running off the screen in the wrong direction while the runner scores a try. That can be frustrating as the AI of your defenders kind of sucks and you really need to be the one to make most of the tackles.

EA really improved many of their games for 06. I'm still playing FIFA 06 to this day and imagine I'll be playing this game for years to come.
