I am from Canada and would really like the game to come to north america for the PS3 either to buy in store or as a digital download. I know the first game came to north america for the 360 but the PS3 was left out in the cold.

Amazon UK or Play-Asia will ship it to Canada, and it's only marginally more than the retail price you'd pay in a store here. I do wish I could get a PS3 digital copy on day one though.

Problem is I don't shop online at all so it's either in-store or digital download for me.

It's coming to PSN, though I'm not sure if Tru Blu are publishing to North America, if distribution isn't arranged for North America. You can always create a New Zealand or French PSN account to get it via PSN, or wait for Steam.

Thanks Milla I will buy the game in a heartbeat if it does come to the north american PSN store but if it doesn't I'll have to pass again like last time. You can sway them to do it Milla I know you can do it.

If it's on Steam here in the States then it's a first day buy from me. I love just relaxing and playing Rugby Challenge.

Got my copy this afternoon, and have played a few games.

Some observations:

-Control and player movement is much better. Players feel heavier, and this leads to fewer large breaks and swerving type runs on higher difficulties.

-organization of players in open play and breakdowns is improved, thankfully

-cpu ai seems pretty decent attacking and defending, but I'll need to gather a larger sample size.

-Rucking is well improved, and the addition of removing players from the ruck is welcome

-tactics seem well implemented, but I need to spend more time exploring this aspect of the game.

-The visuals look great, but how come kits don't get dirty? This was in the last game and it looked great. If I'm playing in the rain I want to see my guys get covered in muck.

-So far this better resembles the game I wanted out of RC1. I'll definitely be playing this for a while.
