Watch: Rugby 18 gameplay, do we finally have a game worth playing?

Rugby 18 gameplay

As anyone with a games console and a passion for rugby will know, rugby gaming in recent memory has been an arduous affair.

Never quite reaching the early heights of Jonah Lomu Rugby’s cult-like status or even the more modest heights of Rugby 2008.

In reality, other than a handful of titles, the vast majority of rugby games have been completely unplayable.

Rugby 18 has appeared on our horizon of late, as yet another beacon of hope but inevitably always turned out to be nothing more than a mirage.

Offering 65 official teams and official leagues including the Pro14, Aviva Premiership and the Top14, showing that there are some promising signs.

Licensed international teams include the All Blacks, Wallabies, France, England Scotland, Wales, Fiji and Italy.

Before we shout hallelujah from the rooftops, we’ll let you look at the gameplay footage and decide for yourself, worth getting excited about?

The Springbok selection experiment is far from over

SA and NZ were the main countries “Whining” about the draw that put SA/NZ/IRE/FRA all on the same side of the draw. Ireland, France and Scotland are well used to it. Most countries have come face to face with the biased draw and scheduling many times since the RWC was inaugurated in 1987.

Everyone agreed the draw was a farce , but yes someone had to pox their way through and that was SA. You get to play a France team in the QF before they have a knock out win under their belt. You won as the inferior team, the world saw that. If the draw had been harder for SA and you were scheduled to play Scotland the week before then you were out.

England were stronger for most of the match with a 9 point lead with 10 to go. They will be massively disapointed to lose from there especially with the non peanalty awarded at the end.

Lastly, you needed a red card to beat NZ. 100%. Not in doubt. It was a 1 point game. You were losing without the red.

SA beat what was in front of them. Not in doubt. That they were lucky is not in doubt either. That the draw made the win significantly easier for SA to get past the QF, is not in doubt either. You play France in the SF or final, you are losing badly.

‘Butt hurt’? Thats an Americanism to imply homosexuality? On about raping women now lobbing homophobic comments. Some of you Saffers, past and present have a very very disturbing attitude…historically and present day.

Have England suddenly become a 'lucky' team?

I think you need to look at some examples in order to get your facts straight.


If you look at the second gif in the article https://imgur.com/a/6QNcVtB#NG27wFf , you can see that Scotland are running the shape I describe, and the ‘flat option’ does not actively impede a tackler so has no need to retreat.


Ditto this one https://imgur.com/a/hNktXel#gbQSsT4 . There is no significant contact with a defender by the flat option, so why does it need to [over-]refereed?


I feel you’re trying to address an issue that exists mostly in your own imagination, not one that exists out on the field of play.
