Rugby challenge is ok.... Some big mistakes in the game though
No quick line out (rwc has that)
No advantage for forward passes
Keran read is as fast as all the wallaby backs what the fuck
Anyone know how to use a player that u have created? I made a guy up but it wont let me select him.
Go the force!!!!

Shiggins. Generally squads are overpopulated. You cannot add a player to the squad unless there is less than 30 players and most squads have 35.

Couple of gripes I have so far with Challenge:
Defending: Almost seems impossible to contain certain teams. The amount of broken tackles seems as bizarre as the frequency of offloads (which are often thrown half the width of the field with pin-point accuracy). Will try to play with the sliders a bit to tweak this tonight.
Passing/Catching: Watching your scrum-half throw the ball past everyone by 15m is heart breaking when you've spent 5+ phases building up some territory. It's also particularly frustrating when players watch the ball fly past them without even attempting to catch it. Obviously this happens less when you're timing passes and not sprinting, but there are few moments where the physics are just off.
Difficulty: Haven't seen this issue brought up so much, but having gone through a Career mode already, and a couple of competitions, I've noticed a ridiculous step up in difficulty when facing teams like Crusaders/Hurricanes and the AB's. Most rucks are turned over ridiculously easily and they're impossible to stop from scoring tries when they're in possession. Seems odd when their rankings are not far off the other teams (in Rugby 15, and Quad Nations). On a couple of occasions, when awarded with penalties, they'll tap and play out of their own goal line, flaunting the fact that a try will be scored after 20 off loads. Playing on Normal difficulty so the difference is quite noticeable when it happens.
Kicking: Anyone found out a decent way to clear the ball? I've been punting with 9 recently, because as soon as it finds it's way to 10 or 15, the defending team has already smothered him.
These are areas I find will limit my long-term interest in the game. I must say though, that it's an absolute blast playing with a friend at home. I'm looking forward to trying some online gameplay too.

Yeh it's a bit sus mate. I had richey run in a 80 mt try and digby didnt catch up. Last time read beat one of the Aussie backs. Some of the player ratings are retarded. It's as though some of the ratings are from 2 years ago. 5 years for gits. Try playing as new Zealand though. The wobs are just as hard to beat. I'm talking about pro

Rugby Challenge 2 coming out with the Lions games added. Think it might be worth picking up.

Rugby Challenge is by far the best product out there right now but still has tons of flaws itself. Not much was more fun than living in a house with seven other guys from the team and having 2v2 tournaments in RC over a few cases of beer. One thing that did lead to a few broken Xbox controllers would be this: if you want to win, just throw the ball around like it's on fire..defenses will crumble at your feet. It's really reliant on having quick enough reactions to recognize when the gap finally opens up and you should stop passing and run it but if you can do this well this strategy is pretty unstoppable unless you have shit luck and the AI decides to drop it 5 times in a row.
