ABOUT THE GAME

Rugby 15 is Bigben Interactive and HB Studios next generation rugby game. Stunning visual presentation and outstanding game-play are to be expected, but what really takes Rugby into the next generation are the large amount of teams you can play. The Custom Cup setting allows you create your own tournaments, leagues and play-offs. There is full editing capabilities for player attributes and ratings, and you can choose from leagues like AVIVA Premiership, TOP 14, PRO D2 and PRO12.

INTUITIVE CONTROL SYSTEM

Whilst anyone will be able to pick the controller up and play comfortably, the top players will be those with the best feel for the different difficulty settings and who are able to take into account things like rain and wind conditions. Defence and attack strategies can be changed on the fly, and it's oh so satisfying to dive tackle your opponent.

FRIENDLY MATCH

The Friendly Match mode allows you to jump right into a game very fast, so you can get some instant gratification without worrying too much about which team to choose, or what players are on your team. If you want to tailor the match a little more there are options available to you. Examples of these are the half length, difficulty, night or day, rain, sun or sunset, wet or dry weather, wind-speed and tie-break settings.

TOURNAMENTS

Tournament Mode is based on the real-life tournament that you choose. Team kits from all your favourite licensed leagues are available like AVIVA Premiership, TOP 14, PRO D2 and PRO12. You can also play intercontinental club competitions like European Trophy and Southern 15. Match results are saved along with your progression, so you can pick up playing where you left off at any time!


INTERNATIONALS

Rugby 15 also offers other game modes like 6 Countries, 4 Nations, giving you a full range of teams to choose from. Feel like a "Friendly Match" between Japan and Fiji? You can do that!
