### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-05-28, version 8.10*

The best manager game I’ve ever played

### 1/5 — It deleted my save

*2026-03-23, version 8.04*

Download the game and now my 10 year old save is gone

### 1/5 — Aucune cohérence

*2025-06-25*

Je perd contre des mecs qui ont tous leurs joueurs moins fort que moi de 300 étoiles… je perd toute mes mêlées contre des équipes ayant des centres et ailiers à la place de leurs piliers… soit vous gagnez soit vous perdez toute vos touches / mêlée pas possible d’en avoir 1-2 dans un match soit tout soit rien … c’est bête avec un système de simulation de match cohérent ça pourrait être un super jeu mais la simulation est une abomination sans nom… les mecs peuvent faire 80m seuls pour taper un drop alors que le 15 adverse est 10m derrière… enfin voilà une purge sans nom

### 1/5 — No match

*2025-06-17, version 7.55*

I was expecting to play a match but did not.
Booo

### 1/5 — Na dis game is just a joke

*2024-12-27, version 7.55*

Not addictive plus ya just can’t access your team!!! Just what gives?

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2024-10-21*

Amazing game. You really feel like you are a rugby manager and it’s so realistic when it comes to the budget and the recruitment.

### 1/5 — Nothing works anymore

*2022-06-16, version 7.50*

Absolutely horrible nothing works can’t buy anything can’t update anything can’t buy new players can’t train players totally ruined everything

### 2/5 — Addictif mais ….

*2022-01-27*

Commencé en 2016 et toujours sur le jeu malgré les nombreuses mises à jour fort discutables et les magouilles en tout genre de certains joueurs ou voir même, l’organisation mafieuse de certaines guildes …. Bref, ce qui me fait tenir c’est ce système de guilde qui permet de lier des amitiés avec d’autres joueurs. Le jeu en lui même n’est pas super réaliste … beaucoup de phase de jeu sont irréelles. Genre, votre ouvreur qui perce et qui va taper un drop juste avant de se faire plaquer …. 
Côté support …. C’est quasi le néant …. Peu de réponse aux tickets ou alors en propos hallucinants. Forum totalement mort …. Heureusement que la plupart des guildes ont créé leur propre espace de discussions sur Messenger, WhatsApp ou autres ….
Je suis toujours sur le jeu plus par habitude que par passion …. Dommage.

### 1/5 — Has gone downhill again

*2021-11-05*

I’ve played this game for some years and it always has had a tendency to oscillate between good and bad. After some months of good we seem to have moved to bad again. The latest version has changed game play in such a way as to be less rugby like and has created even more opportunities for cheating than previously. I have now decided to call it a day with this game. A great shame as the game has potential.

### 1/5 — Too many cheats

*2021-08-27*

Avoid this. There are too many cheats. Players with  Very strong teams are able to somehow lower their rating by using and completely thrash teams that have an equal or higher rating.
Sweet Nitro know about this but won’t do anything about it.
