Remember to click the HD button on the player to see it in..well...HD!

Looks awesome!

My biggest hope for the game is it will put you in situations where you really made to think i.e. When I'm defending my line from relentless phases, should I be cynical and give away and penalty (while risking a YC) or should I try and hold out?

I just like how it's completely different to what we'v all played before.

Every other rugby game it was all about players running in this really odd V formation. This looks a lot more fluid where players aren't rigidly tied in staying in a V line. What sells it for me was the inside pass and definitely the different angles the AI takes when receiving a pass.

Ahhh can't wait for Wednesday!

The rain effects are just..wow.

I'm worried my computer won't be able to display those graphics though without lagging.

My guess is if you can run this,

You should be fine.

I don't think the hardware will be that steep.

Looks class, can't wait.

Looks brilliant, is this going to be released on PC, don't have a 360 or ps3 (sorry if its being asked already.)

yeah it'll be on pc too

cant wait to get this, nice to see a bitta connacht in the trailer too

Looks really good! The only thing I;m not sure about is how the game pauses when you go to kick/grubber-hopefully you can turn that off as its a bit too easy to pick out the perfect kick then and would be a bit annoying in 2 player mode too (sometimes I like to play 10 man rugby in Rugby 2008 to annoy my mate and just kick for position and take my drop goal opportunities )

dosnt pause, just slows so can still run out of time if ur not too careful.
and it isnt on in multiplayer (as far as mario could remember)

Now that's what I'm talking about! Good to hear the preview in town looked good. Anyone else pop in? Any feedback for those of us unlucky enough to be stuck in work?

Was fantastic. Everyone loved it. Saw some great matches. Mystic took a 20 min recording of it so hopefully he'll have it up later on tonight. We were all blown away by it.

That's great news. Hopes were high going in so if you were impressed then it must be quality. Roll on the release date.

wonder can you change the camara angles in Rugby challenge much perfer playing side view when im playing rugby games.

So far from all the footage Rugby Challenge looks the better game

I always found the post to post angle the best for rugby games, as you can see what's in front of you when attacking, just like playing rugby, and you can see where the full-back is!
