I enjoy the game, but there are some aspects of gameplay and interface that make it obvious that this is a recoded football manager game. Players keep kicking ahead for no reason, even when in space and close to the try line, and incomprehensibly passing back in a similar situation. The players' colour code is also nonsensical, with the Full Back (goalie?) a different colour from the wings and centres, and the back row and half backs bizarrely the same colour. Surely the colour categories should be: Front 5, Back Row, Half Backs, Threequarters and Full Back.

Sadly we have to face the facts that even during the world cup Rugby is a second tier sport and we are lucky to receive any attention from developers and therefore must accept sub standard products. Sorry all I was slipping into a rant
