I've played the demo a few weeks ago and I honestly think that the game sucks. 20 years ago I've played rugby games that were better in most ways.

I've only played the demo, but it was a huge disappointment.

I'm hoping Rugby Challenge is better.

How is this a clean slate. Has anyone ever played Rugby 08 from Ea Sports. Its the same sh!t. All the animations are the same, this game is just a bloody roster update :@

As a Kiwi with hi hopes for this game, I found it to be terrible, should just play Jonah Lomu Rugby for the PS1 and you would have the same gameplay experience.
