[QUOTE="Ian, post: 51852"] Yep, totally agree with the opinions above, especially the bit about rucks. This is the single biggest flaw in the EA Rugby series - rucks seem to be decided purely on pack strength alone the moment the ball hits the floor and there's little you can do about it afterwards. Unfortunately, it sounds like Rugby 06, for all its apparent improvements, will still suffer from this same failing. Though RC06 might be seen to be inferior to EA's game as far as set pieces are concerned, it still covers the most essential option in this respect (ie. the fly half dropping back to kick). In any case, EA's set plays are run by the computer itself, so there's no great satisfaction to be had on the part of the player - at least in RC06, whatever you carve out you have to work for. In spite of all this, I'll still probably try to buy Rugby 06 (if I can find the dosh) simply because I enjoy playing rugby games, but I thought the critisicism from certain press sources, particularly TVG (French), was extremely harsh - the Swordfish boys have done a good, conscientious job here.
