### 3/5 — Good game

*2024-12-07, version 1.3.1*

Good game but ruined by ads and the in game purchases

### 5/5 — Best game of all time

*2024-07-20, version 1.3.1*

Great game play just all around great it is so fun just running around or trying to get your favourite players out there I think you should try it!

Get out there and make some tackles and try’s!!

P.S WATCH ACTUAL RUGBY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Review ~2 stars~

*2024-07-19, version 1.3.1*

I gave it 2 stars because you can’t even move and you can’t find ANYTHING at all so that's dissapoting please improve or this is the last time I’m playing x 😕

### 3/5 — Each game time

*2024-07-03, version 1.3.1*

The game is very fun it’s just that I don’t understand why a game is so little time I really hope you can fix that or if there is an option to change the time to be longer please just tell me how

### 5/5 — You should get this game

*2024-06-01, version 1.3.1*

They’re hardly any ads so you should get it

### 3/5 — It’s a good game it’s just not the best

*2024-04-17, version 1.3.1*

Yep

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2024-04-14, version 1.3.1*

It’s good apart from u only get three bottles

### 3/5 — Rule errors and ability upgrades

*2024-04-11, version 1.3.1*

Line outs are big issues. Then offsides and tackling 

Hope to have some mechanisms where players build attributes/abilities when they play in matches. There are statistics for their games played, tackles made etc but they don’t contribute to their abilities

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-03-23, version 1.3.1*

I love the game but there is just one thing I don’t like, I don’t like how you have three games until you have to wait 30 mins to play another game unless you buy VIP to get unlimited goes

### 5/5 — Best game ever it feels like your playing the game in real life

*2024-03-17, version 1.3.1*

### 1/5 — Malo

*2025-09-29, version 1.3.1*

Son tremendos pelotudos

### 1/5 — うざい

*2025-09-26*

ゴール前ボール取ったと思えばすぐ取られるのなんなん

### 1/5 — Terrible levelling

*2025-08-13, version 1.3.1*

Unless you spend money on this game it becomes practically impossible to win since it forces random chance events like knock ons and penalties for the other team that you have no control over also it makes winning any ruck impossible as this is also entirely dependant on the limited stats of your team.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2025-07-18, version 1.3.1*

Even if the team is 2 OVR higher than you you can’t win rucks, scrums or malls 

Never get

### 1/5 — trash

*2025-06-26, version 1.3.1*

like trash

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-09, version 1.3.1*

Terrible. Do not buy. The devs made a terrible energy system which basically forces you to pay money to actually play more than 3 games, and the bots go out of their way to make the games as short as humanly possible. The balancing of the players is terrible, I just had a prop kick a 50:22. I struggle to find a single good thing about this game. DO NOT BUY

### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense

*2024-12-22, version 1.3.1*

When your team’s rating is 98 and another team’s rating is lower, you only get the ball once in the whole game? The rest of the game you must watch the bot play?

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2024-09-11, version 1.3.1*

Unfair and doesn’t get the calls right and made South Africa over powerd

### 1/5 — Aweful

*2024-01-13, version 1.3.1*

If you want to play a game that makes you want to run infront of a 10 ton truck this is the game for you!

### 1/5 — ads are getting ridiculous

*2023-08-23, version 1.3.0*

this is a great game that is being ruined by multiple time-wasting ads that dont give out rewards unless you watch them 3/4/5 times. 4 ads, fine. 12? nah.

### 5/5 — Gioco bello, ma…

*2025-05-06, version 1.3.1*

Gioco super, ma è difficilissimo avere nuovi giocatori tipo io che sono 74 di valutazione, non riesco a trovare giocatori oltre al 90 di valutazione, però faccio anche molta fatica a ottenere potenziamenti per i leggendari e ora sto cercando di guadagnare con vari mondiali potenziamenti utili anche per cambi di posizione o miglioramenti di grado comunque gioco molto bello
