RC2 is definitely a little rough, but still the best rugby game by far. I had lots of fun with it. RC3 is a day one buy for me. I hope the series stays around.

Yea I still play RC2 (one of the Rugby games that has me keeping my 360).

Day one buy for me as well, finally a Rugby game I'll have & play on my PS4.

I like it. Definitely will be on the radar.

Interested to see how many more licensed national teams they can get.

No, RC3 is a Rugby Union game, and RLL3 is a Rugby League Game. They are different versions (or codes as they're called) of rugby with some fundamentally different rules and general formats of the sport. Think kind of like Canadian Football and American (NFL/College) Football.

I love 7s and I'm glad they're implementing 7s play this year. I've always been a Union fan first, though I'll admit I've always wanted to try a sevens mode and now it looks like I'll be able to!

Rugby 08 is much better than RC2 as far as I'm concerned.

08 and JLR still have the crown.

Glad Sidhe isn't doing this one.
