Yeah. Even if it's just for variety, I think it's worth skipping any players from the Classic XV if they would already be in the game. I also agree with the calls for global variety over definite best-ever-in-position players. I'd look most at the biggest names of the past ...which is why...

Southern Hemisphere: Props: Woodcock and Franks, with the Beast on the bench. Australia and South Africa can supply the locks. Du Plessis at hooker (not sure if it should be Mealamu or Polota-Nau backing him up). Would be hard to displace McCaw and Read in the loosies, but could probably take...

On the one hand, competition would be good. On the other, there's the risk that one game is better, but the other ends up with all the licenses... :(

Has anyone else heard the rumour that Sidhe might be developing the next Rugby (union) game for EA Sports?

I think it's probably a bit much to hope for Currie and ITM cups (although I would love to see them), but international comps like the Pacific Nations should be easy wins for HB, since the teams will be in the game already.

Carter probably comes closer than any other: at his best he's a good tackler, excellent kicker, fast, and probably the best tackle-breaker currently wearing a number 10 jersey. But Richie McCaw, while still great, is past his best (more and more I think his main asset on the park is his...

I think many kiwis would quite like a whole RWC 2007 do-over. Does that qualify as a Classic Match? (Actually, I think the large number of matches lost by NZ that have been suggested are quite telling: isn't the most satisfying thing here to re-write, rather than simply re-live, history?)...

I'd put in a vote for aggregate ratings based on the actual starting XV (plus possibly some +/- for chemistry and quality of reserves). If the ratings are going to be fixed (and somewhat arbitrary), then stars sound better than a score out of 100. Because what you really want to know is...

Five Favourite: 1. World League 2. Other tournaments (would love a proper coach/manager mode) 3. Wide selection of players with varied stats. 4. Proper licenses (especially when it comes to player names) 5. Good goal kicking system Five Least Favourite: 1. The wait between releases...

Oh, and, even though lots of people have said this already.... - More tournaments. Stuff like the pacific nations cup would be good, and easier than currie/ITM cups, as it only involves teams that will probably already be in the game. - Customisability. It's easier to skimp on including lots...

One thought I had on this would be to have tiers of suitability for a position, with all players having one primary position (maybe multiple for real utility players), and most having some secondary positions. Playing in a secondary position means reduced performance, but nothing like the...
