Summary

HB Studios, sports veterans who have worked with EA Sports on the likes of Madden NFL, FIFA, NHL and PGA, have returned to the world of rugby, following up their work on the likes of Rugby '08 and Rugby World Cup 2011.

There's plenty on offer for rugby fans. The game comes packed with top clubs, with licensing agreements including the PRO D2, TOP 14, Aviva Premiership Rugby and the PRO 12. You might play for the honours in those leagues thanks to 'season mode', create your own competition in 'custom cup', take on the old guard in 'European Trophy' or 'six countries' or take on the Southern Hemisphere in 'Southern 15' and 'four nations'. Or, of course, there's the option to just play a friendly against either the artificial intelligence or up to three other friends.

As well as the custom cup mode, players get added levels of customisation with the option to create their own teams and even shape factors like weather and wind speed on match day.

To add to the authenticity HB Studios have done motion capture work with real players to nail the movements and animations. For the first time in a game, players will also be able to pull off moves such as up & unders and pop passes! And, to take things up another level, in-game stats have been taken from OPTA, the world leader in sport statistics, to make teams and players as close to their real-world counterparts as possible!
