    This game will be out in about a months time, the exact date is yet to be revealed.

    I can post lots of reference links and vids in here to learn all about this game.

    But for now, I wanna start a pool comp for us boardsies

    Gonna try run organise one for PS3, if someone wants to do similar for xbox360 then go ahead...

    So if you want to take part in boards PS3 pools for this game then reply here with the team you want (if its not already taken) and I will publish the rough rules in a few weeks.

    I'm gonna organise ones for RaboDirect Pro 12 and the Top 14 Orange. So you can select a team from either or from both, until they are all taken.

    I'll go first, I Pick Munster and Toulouse :)

    Was thinking this'd work great as a Boardsie league, I play on Xbox though so cant take part in this one, but think it'll be great fun with the 4v4 multiplayer!

    I Pick Leinster and Clermont

    I'd be interested in an xbox one too, we should try get the ball rolling.

    Maybe if there is enough interest closer to the release of this game the Rugby Mods could organise a sticky thread in the Rugby forum or a subforum if possible?

    I'm sure we can look into it. Will keep an eye on this thread and the other one and gauge interest. :)

    Finally the mods would actually have a method of letting fanatic Leinster and Munster fans go at it as a therapeutic activity:p

    Can I take Connacht & Perpingnan?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,194 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    The kicking mechanics look spot on, nice to see that slow down to allow you to make some level of decision rather than just kick and hope, because the defence are up on you.

    anybody else up for this? Rabodirect teams almost gone


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Thread Bump!

    RWC 11 came out yesterday. I almost picked it up by accident today, thinking it was Rugby Challenge. Is there any news on a release date for Rugby Challenge in North America/Europe yet? I can only find NZ, Aus and SA release dates.

    unfortunately not mate :-(

    unfair and annoying


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭gooch2k9


    Aironi and Castres(on the assumption that I can afford the game).

    Would it not be fairer to draw for the teams though? Probably get a better response if people thought they had a chance of getting a better team:p

    What you mean both ways?

    I played in a FIFA thingy like this during the World Cup last year ( for lack of a current gen rugby game before I'm ridiculed:p), and they had some program listing the teams and players names and it drew them randomly. Think L'prof organised it.
