Like I would be a couple meters from the try line and my player would just automatically pass the ball away and would lead to me not scoring. Or when I’m running and I’ve got a break away try and he just kicks the ball away when I could have scored. Little stupid things the game does that annoys me. Fix that and it would be a good game ### 3/5 — Game needs updates *2026-04-24, version 1.4.1* A lot of match fixing in this game. Unreasonable events happening ### 4/5 — Good but forwards and players faces need changing *2026-02-19, version 1.4.1* I really enjoy rugby nations but there are some problems like: in a normal game of rugby the forwards are the strong, bulky, backbone of the rugby team but in this game they have made them fat, slow and another thing I have noticed with the forwards and the backs is that the players faces look nothing like the real players face for example: a rugby player could have blonde hair In real life but they make him or her have black hair even though they can make them have black hair because often a players face repeats on another one meaning to different people on one team could look completely different and if the game wants to be realistic then these things need to change. ### 5/5 — Cool game! *2025-11-26, version 1.4.1* I’d rather be in a constant cycle where I get molested by Chucky the killer than play this stupid game every second of this is worse than getting your limbs cut off one at a time. ### 5/5 — 5 *2025-11-14, version 1.4.0* So Fun just Amazing ### 3/5 — Great. But could be amazing *2025-11-09, version 1.4.0* I’m be had this game for a couple months and overall I really enjoy it. It’s he overall controls are great for a phone game and I mostly enjoy levelling up and upgrading players and skills it adds. I’d say this game has made it into my top 5 phone games. The game overall is great. But it certainly has some super irritating issues. First of all of course the energy system is fairly annoying especially when the game glitches and you lose a whole three bars of energy for nothing. Also why does my team become almost useless after the siren sounds. Especially in a close match I’ve almost thrown my phone because of a nonsensical random knock on. and it happens so frequently for no good reason. Then there’s the other teams having dominant forward packs without anyway to have a chance of winning and rucks or scrums. This and the energy bars are obviously attempts and incentivising players to spend money in game and that makes it a little more annoying because it seems like a cheap way to do so. Instead of offering cool perks for money it’s just to heavily incentivise spending real life money. You’d be better off ditching the energy system or at least making there 2 more tanks or something because three games is stingy especially when almost daily you have to restart the app because of a crash ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-03, version 1.4.0* Such a great game. And the fact that you guys added the haka and kept it respectful. That’s amazing. Best rugby game on the App Store ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-10-30, version 1.4.0* The game is so smooth and fun you can get players get tries etc. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2025-10-28, version 1.4.0* Not that much to explain the graphics are amazing you’re able to move freely and no adds ### 3/5 — Tackle *2025-10-25, version 1.4.0* When you tackle someone the add player dose it’s own thing like I did not tap it and I was losing but then it just switched and I somehow I won. ### 5/5 — The g.o.a.t *2025-10-25, version 1.4.0* If you love rugby, you’ll love this ### 5/5 — Rugby review *2025-10-23, version 1.4.0* Soo fun and very cool ### 5/5 — Review *2025-10-11, version 1.3.3* One of the best games I have ever played I wish when you play World Cup that you get more blue tokens ### 5/5 — Add *2025-10-07, version 1.3.3* Add dive, stiff arm, spin ### 5/5 — This game is great *2025-10-03, version 1.3.3* I am really pleased with the way you can build up your squad and even have world famous players ### 4/5 — Actually good but so much potential wasted *2025-10-01, version 1.3.3* Okay, I am rewriting my review after coming back and playing the game. It actually is a decent rugby game, it is better than most recent rugby games on console or pc. The pros: Graphics are excellent. The upgrading of players. Gameplay is okay. The cons: The energy bar system. Packs take too long to open. Items cost too much in gold. Once you get all the stadiums you can’t do anything with the stadium coins you get. The game is too easy. I use Wales in the Six Nations, I am rated 87, France is rated 96, yet I completely demolish them every time along with all the other teams. Shouldn’t be that easy. Games are way too short. I think what is holding this game back are the following; Make games longer. Get rid of the energy bar system. Have leagues, URC, Prem, etc, and European Champions cup. Make difficulty levels. It is like the developers are trying to make a console game on iPhone but miss the mark. However; in saying that, it’s not bad overall compared to some actual rugby games on console and pc, that’s sad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to win scam game *2026-05-05, version 1.4.1* Nothing but a pay to win scam full of bot opponents that will beat you regardless of how good your team is. ### 1/5 — 0 star *2026-02-23, version 1.4.1* Worst game ever ### 1/5 — DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-12-23, version 1.4.1* IT IS HORRIBLE AND A DISGRACE TO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!! As a rugby player this is terrible. It made me really sad ### 1/5 — Bad controls and glitches *2025-11-22, version 1.4.1* Been playing this game and the controls for defence is not accurate and not realistic at all. Loads of glitches even if the opposing side knocks on the game game continues. This game in not accurate and needs fixing for new versions ### 1/5 — Why it’s so bad *2025-09-24, version 1.3.3* Really bad very rigged when your about to score and win the all star league it will come up with a way to get rid of the ball or control your player band put them into touch ### 1/5 — Pay to win higher up *2025-09-20, version 1.3.3* You get higher up the leagues and it’s impossible to unlock upgrade charms for player rarity. It’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — Rigged game *2025-08-14, version 1.3.3* Wouldn’t bother installing if you want a game where you need skill, the games rigged. Once you start playing you’ll realise that some games there’s no hope of you winning as anytime you get the ball some random rule comes into play that gives the opposition the ball ### 1/5 — Keep deleting my reviews! *2025-07-29, version 1.3.3* This game is so predictable, you start winning so they starting doing stupid stuff to make you concede or lose. i’ve put up several reviews of this pile of rubbish and they always get deleted, makes sense now why their reviews seem to only be 5 star. this game is the so furthest thing from a 5 star game, i’d rather walk on lego than play this pile of rubbish. ### 1/5 — Algorithm controlled *2025-07-26, version 1.3.3* Good for the first few games. Then your own players will stop running towards an attacking player and just stand still, allowing the opposition to score. In attempts to tackle the players will just morph through the attack team and not tackle. Game is rigged, set up and boringly predictable ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2025-07-03, version 1.3.3* The game is definitely a good game however there is that many bugs like knock ons continuously only on your team. There is many different ways to make the game better which need to be done like pvp rather than pve all the time. Also the teams that are “better” only means you knock the ball on more ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Drive good home today everything looks better *2026-08-03, version 1.4.1* The ### 5/5 — Tecky *2026-05-12, version 1.4.1* Soo good ### 5/5 — Held up *2026-04-05, version 1.4.1* Could add a held up system so if they tackle them over the try line it will be held up ### 5/5 — Fun and inspiring to do a Newport *2026-03-04, version 1.4.1* 5 ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-02-20, version 1.4.1* Graphics are sensational also no ads u heard me none it just amazing ### 5/5 — Kaion *2026-01-05, version 1.4.1* Karon ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-12-11, version 1.4.1* I love the game’s graphics and how it keeps me more motivated to play more rugby in real life and I think this game is going to be top rated in the world soon thanks Kind regards From: Richie smith ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-12-06, version 1.4.1* 10/10 score cross field kicks ### 5/5 — Rugby nations *2025-12-04, version 1.4.1* Rugby nations is good because it help your child to learn skills I would give all stairs you have bottle and less bottle for you to play a matches ### 5/5 — Great rugby game *2025-11-30, version 1.4.1* No ads,rugby,fun.
