EA Sports delivers the fast-paced excitement and hard-hitting toughness of international Rugby. Take your team to victory in World Championship, 6 Nations, Tri-Nations or Friendly matches. All the current teams and many young up-and-coming star players are included in this game, with gamers able to choose a squad from up to 40 players from each team. Each player has detailed statistical information, including height, weight, speed, tackling strength, stamina, kicking ability and more.Optimizing the power of the PlayStation 2, Rugby features incredibly realistic weather and pitch effects, including detailed rain, wind and fog. Adding to the realism, the field wears down as the game goes on, and it gets muddier, as do the players' uniforms. Rugby contains a realistic control system that is simple to use. You are given complete control over the game, including the ability to perform a dummy pass, tackle, touch down, grubber kick, punt-kick and up-and-under kick. Nothing matches the spectacle of international Rugby.
