I used to use one of the classic views (can't remember which one) when I first began to play and it wasn't until I saw some of the footage from the rugby forum competition that I thought about changing.
I switched and hated it. I then went back to the classic one.
I decided that I would have another go - dropped down a level (played at normal) and kept at it. It wasn't until I put the level back to elite and have been playing side view ever since.
Trust me it is worth the effort and the smashings that the pc gives you at first but it quickly changes and you will enjoy it a lot better.
I play in the classic view that rotates behind the attacking team, forget which one. I just cant manage to play any rugby games in side view. I hope HB have fixed the weird perspective and lack of depth perception in the new classic views.
Customizable views sound good, hopefully you can zoom the camera in/out to your liking.
Truck and Zoom Camera • Introduce new camera angles that allow the user to see more of the action on the field. • Zoom in on breakdowns to better see the action at these key moments. • Allow the user to see the result of conversion and penalty kicks. • Allow user to see where they are aiming when kicking from a stoppage.

Whichever view is the default one was the one I was using up until a week ago now I use classic(2 I think). It's much better for reading what the opposition is doing and finding touch with your kicks.
the classic view which switches to the team in possession is easiest. You can see when you're turned over and see the gaps real easy. Less so in side view, but its better for the overall feel of the game. You get more of a sense of making ground.
yeah, also with classic view you can see where the fullback or back 3 are positioned in case u wanted to kick it.
side view does seem faster tho, but once again defence is a bit awkward.
