Only just had a chance to post. Not much for you, but at least it's something.
Here's what I know from roughly 10 minutes play on the demo version.
1) There's a demo of Rugby 06 that will shortly be doing the rounds Either december or early January.
2) It's NOT Rugby 05 with bits added. The game plays radically different. Much more responsive with no truck-like turning circles.
3) Attacking play is superb. Best bit? Running into the defense and timing a sweet offload to perfection.
4) Defending is a nightmare, slightly slow and you never seem to "Get it right"
5) The camera angle is more akin to Lomu rugby with bigger players, rather than the very odd Classic 2 cam for Rugby 05. For some reason, the perspective on this cam in rugby 05 never felt right. The pitch seemed uphill, if you know what I mean. That's gone with this version tho, well, at least it has with the demo.
All in all, it's very hard to describe. What i will say is that it's different from 05 - not just the bits added to it - like everyone thought it would be.
Strange tho, I can't make up my mind if EA have ruined the game or made a classic!!!! The reason I say this is because when you have the ball, the game's great. When you're defending, it's not so great! It really is a game of 2 halves. Then again, I didn't really play it long enough to get to grips with so maybe you need to stick at the defense and master it. If that's the case then it looks promising.
More info soon.

Wouldn't know that, only played a demo version. Similar to the Rugby 05 demo. Just one half of a match.

locksley is the game more realistic i.e more penalities against the computer and is there penalities for late tackles early tackles etc

Yeah, defence isn't the best. You can no longer run into the player so it makes it hit and miss with the X button.
Bit more for you;
1. Teams - The usual England v Australia. Bizarrely, England are rated 90 and Aus 89!
2. The pace of the game is much slower, giving you time to look for gaps etc etc.
3. It plays like real rugby. Rugby 2004 was shite, Rugby 05 was better but didn't last the distance after extended play. None of them really played like real rugby though. Rugby 2006 does.
The defending was a big wake up call after the easiness of 2005's smash them as they got the ball defence.

Jeez! Are HB behind the times or what! Australia came last in the TN and is on a 6 game losing streak and England came as good as last in the 6N! They should probably both be rated at 86 at the moment...
