OK for a bit of fun, but if you're a rugby fan or player, you'll find the poor and unrealistic gameplay extremely frustrating: Many forward passes that are missed. When you get tackled into touch, the linesman will mark where you caught the ball, not where you entered touch. You can be first over the ruck with multiple players, but not win the breakdown. Within 10m of your own line, the opposition become superhuman and can't be tackled. Needs a lot of work to be a genuinely good rugby game.

It's a great game with some big improvements that I'm happy with but sometimes players knock the ball that must be easy to catch. From a try you can not choose from you want to you kick and when you go over time you must be able to play longer without making a mistake but it is a amazing game.

I like the game but it's highly frustrating sometimes. You will often get certain games where you are always dropping the ball for no reasons. The upgrade seems to have made this game worse. The amount of tackles I'm missing constantly in games is ridiculous now. The turnovers need work. I'm getting turned over when my team is better than the opponent and yet I can rarely get a turnover. Even if my players are there at the breakdown they just run away especially if they're a back

Please read. The ball moves shakey and the replays of tries are in 3fps. Players dont follow the joystick on defence and there are way too many knocks and forward passes, players run in front of ball. Players seem like figures from FIFA 03 when the ball is loose, and struggle to get away after a side step. Wayyyyy too many balls are being ripped from my players. My 102 rated prop is unable to tackle a 91 rated player. The opposition is always able to kick on the 10m line against the sideline.

Edit, it used to be watch an ad for something specific, even if that something is poor, now they are forcing ads down your throat at every end of game, and getting longer and longer, pathetic. Super game ruined by greedy economy. This is an excellent game and well put together but the economy and pricing is atrocious and way too steep. I genuinely would spend money on it if it was much fairer and balanced for what you get but it ain't,

Great potential, but it's frustrating when the players are maxed on gold or legend level and don't perform like it. Not tackling the opposition, not passing, passing when they shouldn't, only chasing the opposition once they are past,knock ons, yellow cards and so much more, it feels like the game is angry with me when I win 🤣 Lesser rated teams become impossible to beat the further you progress and player upgrades are few and far between. Despite all this, I still enjoy the game 👍

there are some details which could have some work done, for example the amount of time advantages are allowed to run for and offside lines being put into place. Maybe some set piece moves could be implemented as well (eg off the scrum or lineout). Otherwise this game is lovely and it's one of very few games which I haven't deleted after playing for only a day.

Really enjoyable game with good playability in terms of matching real life rugby union rules. The gameplay is fairly fluid. I do wish the match duration was changeable (to my knowledge it isn't) and it wouldn't make all your players knock the ball on when the clock hits 90 minutes. Also I feel like there needs to be more energy to play games with, 3 matches isn't enough for me personally. I understand you want people to pay the £8 a week subscription but that charge is ridiculous.

Very much improved on 22 edition. Game play is really good. Graphics are fabulous. Ability to upgrade players in both club and international level is also good. Could be improved by being able to upgrade grounds etc even more. Would also like to avoid getting duplicate players in packs. Open play seems to work well, certainly at lower levels. Why not develop a 7's game too? Overall I am really enjoying this game. Thank you developers 👍

Really fun game and only lose a star for two reasons. The battery game timer mechanic is irritating although does seem to be fair but being slightly faster would be good. Also, the inability to gain player upgrade tickets is extremely annoying. I've developed many of my players up over a long periods of time and waiting for a legendary/ gold upgrade when they are so rare just slows the game down and makes me not want to play, making the game very repetitive.

It's good fun most of the time. However there are some major issues. If you have a 3v1 you will knock the ball on 8/10. The AI can also do pretty much whatever they want including offloads (which for you as the player will be a forward pass no matter what) and just perform forward passes. One thing that's extremely frustrating is that the game doesn't have offside, this causes so many issues as it stops a lot of momentum and chances from tap pens. The game also is very buggy, often freezing.

Great game, major improvement from the last one. There are just a few issues for one. When you score a try and the recording plays, then it tends to freeze at times, then you have to exit and re-enter the game. The players tend to knock on passes that should be easy to catch. Lastly, when u kick to post the 2 points after a conversation isn't added on certain occasions.

Good to a point. Training is poorly developed, almost an afterthought. Yet another game that falls into the trap of having two currencies unnecessarily, especially as most of the time I just convert one into the other. AI forces player mistakes in literally every game. Make sure your players are quick, because otherwise they're useless, no matter what their other stats are. Improvement on the previous iteration, but still has me swearing at my phone.

The new update is great! Seeing daily goals progress while playing matches is a huge help! It does have a few bugs, but I've encountered maybe 5 in two weeks of playing consistently. I think my biggest problem is once you get duplicate players, unless you use a position change and reroll stats they won't be viable in other positions. If we could add stars(boosts) to players we have duplicates of it would be nice. Otherwise I absolutely love this game!

Offensive play is a ton of fun, as you have many options to move the ball and the AI generally offers a challenging defense. Defensive play could use some improvement. All you can really *do* is spam the ruck button until you win the ball back, which is far too easy. Difficulty scaling could use work as well, I've got a 75 overall team competing in a "major league" division yet face teams with 60 or less overall. Fun game overall, but needs further work to be great.

Not bad, could be better. The biggest flaws IMO are that higher ranking opp in the tournaments are made better just by the amount of turnovers they get. There were games when I had the ball, 4 out of 5 times I got tackled resulted in a turnover. Plus the game gives you control of a tackler so far away that the ball carrier is able to run a third of the field before getting tackled. You basically have no chance until you build up the team. That is a feature I like though, National teams build up.

Mostly great. A couple suggestions I'd make. 1)decrease the amount of time it takes to fill up the energy meter for games. Getting to play 1 game an hour feels unnecessarily sandbagged, especially because of the next point. 2) slow the game clock down. making it real time would be too much, but currently (barring any stoppages) a game lasts less than 2 minutes. 3) decrease the amount of time needed to open a pack. 1hr for bronze, 2 for silver, 3 for gold seems reasonable.
