I've only done some URC teams and some international teams, and only their starting 15 and bench. I also edited some competitions like the URC and four nations. Some players may not be on their respective teams because I am yet to create them in-game.

Install Instructions:
1. Extract the zip file
2. Copy and Paste .db file into profile folder and select "replace"
3. If you cannot locate the profile folder visit lolipop's updated 24/25 roster for instructions.

Can Do Fiji drua 2025 Please

Will get to that mate, I don't have much time to edit in the day so I'm currently creating and editing player ratings. Some players don't exist in this current roster so I'm fixing that at the moment so I'll do Drua when I'm done with all of that mate.

Out of interest, why is everyone still modding RC3? Is it better than RC4? I can't remember!

@Andyb1986, I just prefer the graphics and fluid gameplay style of RC3. After almost 10 years of playing the game I can now only do a cross kick to my wing, run a set piece or two from the ruck and scrum without the setplays options that RC4 has.

The difference for me is that RC4 has set piece attack moves from ruck or scrum like Rugby 08 and RC3 doesn't have that and RC4 I think has a stronger defense system.

Otherwise it's basically the same as RC3, but I've added elements from RC1 into RC3 like the spinning out of the tackle(Nonu spin), RC1 sidestep and hand-off which doesn't slow your momentum and you actually get away from all tacklers, RC1's wind speed which actually influences the kick.

Just try both man and see what you like.

@JouBoy how do you do cross kicks and set pieces, I've tried before but the AI defence just rushes me. I still can't exit out of my half because my players automatically run into the ball and it gives zero time to get a kick off. I'm playing on controller and on my pc

I spoke to the developer of the new Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge re- released on PS4 they were going to try and add some better elements from Rugby Challenge 3 to the new Jonah Rugby Challenge, like bringing back the ability to add up to 5 in the ruck, and longer lasting scrums that were in RC3 vs RC4, now all we have to do is have the creating community go to work for custom rosters. He said it would take a few weeks to implement; this was about 3 weeks ago. I suggested if he could get the best of RC3 and best of RC4 combined, rugby gamers would have a reason to invest into the re-release, even if it is fictional teams by default.

To be fair, I simply believe that's because RC4 (nor RC3) isn't available on steam anymore, although you can download RC3 on the internet.
Many people like the Rugby Challenge series, and the only way to play it nowadays is by downloading it illegally (which is not possible for RC3 afaik), simply because none can buy it anymore
