kaftka and co will 'bah humbug' me probably...

but I can honestly say there were MANY ways around this...no not editing etc...that's by the by.....there were techniques, ways of landing and of gaining momentum also for that matter which curbed this and allowed multiple ruck wins with even average teams...

horrible teams will always lose rucks etc....it is realistic...SA beat uruguay by 150 points or something....thast's the gap between the weak and the strong in world rugby.

For instance one should have no problem winning 50/50 rucks PLUS (that's way low...maybe up to 65-70% of rucks) with scortland. ireland etc....I go pretty sweet with say Fiji too...HOWEVER - that is with all the tricks being used..

I get thge feeling most people just never played this game enough....thus rugby 06 will just get better in time for me too (fingers crossed).

no doubt they should have had the option to pop a ball left or right as it seems RC has done.....I see this as the ONLY thing RC has over rugby06

thungs like:

SH licenses and likenesses

player editor

jump

jump

jump

no speed bar

et al....

these are things I REQUIRE for a rugby game and I fear RC won't..check...I know now that RC won't provide them.

Don't get me wrong...people may like the game in some cases/ages etc...but for me it doesn't cut it...pity they aren't doing a sequel again and upping the ante (but I fear the speed bar repeat exhibits a certain something that might hold them back though)....but rugby 06 and an 07 will cover bases it seems.
