It's time for you to make the choice! Pick from several different teams, both major and minor, from several different Rugby nations. Compete in many of the global tournaments, including the Rugby World Cup, the Tri Nations, the Six Nations, and the Super 14. Campaign through six difficult and rewarding weeks of the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, where you'll be kept up-to-date on the World Cup progress.

A new camera system and set pieces create a brand-new experience!
