Console owners try this rule, once a ruck has formed, you press the select a defender button, and you must stick with the first defender it gives you,no matter who it is. You must continue to use this one player until the next ruck, so you are only one guy and youve got to make your tackle count in each phase. If you miss you must watch the play unfold until a team mate brings them down. This evens up the d a bit between you and the ai, and the ai actully scores some cool tries. Also only play 5 minute halves, otherwise no matter how much of a deficit you face youve always got time for a come back. This way it adds a bit of urgency, and youll play out some real nail biters.
