Simple, easy to play but a few fixes and it could be great. Some sort of pod structure or line running. Ability to step players would add another level ### 3/5 — good but issues *2023-05-08* It’s an amazing gameplay to play in your spare time but some things: After 5 plays, u either have to watch a ad or get VIP. When you swipe to do ur conv it goes the exact other way. Pls fix. ### 3/5 — S *2023-04-20, version 5.2* You need to make the team stay together more like when you get a run away and your teams not there for you when you get tackled ### 2/5 — ok *2022-12-07* need to add infinite plays ### 4/5 — Very nice game If your into rugby or still learning *2022-02-18* The whole game is cool and it’s good to have a lot of teams, the only thing I can say needs improvement is the conversion, if my finger goes one way the ball just flys to the other! But still very nice GAME ### 3/5 — Simple fun game but frustrating new bugs *2022-02-14, version 5.2* Really enjoyable and fun game. Penalties a lottery and seem based on luck. New update visuals aren’t as good and there seems to be a bug that won’t let me advance after winning/playing a game. I can’t return to the main menu and have to close the app ### 4/5 — Good but issues *2021-11-01, version 4.5* I liked it but when playing I can’t do cross field kick and kicks while running etc. ### 3/5 — Ok game *2021-06-14, version 4.5* Good game but it won’t let me kick and you have to watch ads to be able to play ### 4/5 — Good game *2021-06-06* This is a really fun game however the defensive part of the this game is completely broken. Once the player gets passed you it’s impossible to catch up to them and stop them which is pretty unfair. ### 4/5 — Good but ads *2021-02-07, version 4.0* A fun , simple rugby game but there are a lot of ads. I like that you can play the World Cup and the six nations but maybe more depth to the game would make it better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs debugging *2025-10-19, version 6.5* The game looks great in the training and demo, but as soon as you start playing there are simply too many bugs to allow for any game play. Frustrating as it looks great. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-06-24* Buggy game, especially on tutorial section. Will delete after this comment. ### 1/5 — Idiot game *2022-06-25* Why is it apparently every single play ### 1/5 — NOT GOOD AT ALL *2022-01-13, version 4.5* SHAMBLES HONESTLY I CANT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE OTHER TEAM TACKLING ME!!! THIS IS AN AWFUL GAME AND IF U BUY THIS U WILL BE DEPRESSED FOR THE REST OF UR LIFE BECAUSE THIS IS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Needs an update ASAP *2022-01-12, version 4.5* None of the kicking mechanics work in the latest update ### 1/5 — Worst rugby game ever 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😕 *2021-11-25* First of all when your on defense it is impossible to keep them from scoring. Second of all the controls are terrible. And there is so much more stuff about this game that I hate all I’m saying is that this game is a big waste of money☹️ ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2021-11-09, version 4.5* Use joystick instead of controls and make it more realistic please!!!! ### 1/5 — Most sjit game ever *2021-09-16* Do not recommend ### 1/5 — THE SHITTEST GAME IN HISTORY *2020-11-30* This game is like has too many penalties and I’ve never played it but it has to start on hard this guy should not make video games anymore cause it’s terrible ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-08-23* Great game in theory but horrible to play. Defending is a nightmare, once the opposition makes a break it’s guaranteed a try. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game, just a bit Lagi after a while of playing *2026-05-13* This game is the best. There’s only one problem though I can’t play the World Cup game part. It’s really bums me out otherwise this game is the best. I think everyone’s should play this game. ### 5/5 — Good game, just a bit Lagi after a while of playing *2026-05-04, version 6.8* I was playing the game and then I went onto it again for like the 500th time but then I pressed on the World Cup but it didn’t let me play. It’s confusing you can only play the first one. It shows you from what I’ve seen so far. ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-12-04, version 6.5* They need to add more teams to play against ### 5/5 — Best rugby game ever *2024-04-20* This is the best game I have ever played it is so fun and Addicting ### 5/5 — Very fun but very easy *2023-08-31* Ok so i win the wolrd cup with russia ( Worst nation available) in less than 2h of game I’ll tell the tactics I use for the devs so don’t reed it if you want to have some challenge : - I do a ruck with 1 guys in the reverse side - I use the back doors tactics - press loops and 2 Times pass - after that my winger is alone - press the boost of speed the most Times i can - when 1 v 1 with de back i do a little kick - press boots in repeat to get the ball and socre ### 5/5 — Maybe update it a bit please *2023-06-03, version 5.2* My new favourite game but I reckond it needs a bit of an update. Cross field kick will always work and the AI don’t draw into plays like back door and Center switch so you will never be able to make the moves. And please add a grubber and some more plays. Also a forward pack would be nice, and maybe we could aim where we kick like penalty kicks and kicking out and box kick. other wise my favourite game🫡 ### 5/5 — アプデして *2021-07-09* キックのサインが使えない(´；ω；｀) ### 5/5 — Really good game *2021-03-10, version 4.0* It’s a good game but if you win the World Cup then my games glitches and I cannot play the six nations or World Cup idk wether is was just my game but i spent £5 on it for infinity plays and no ads so kinda annoying ### 5/5 — Looks cool *2020-10-31* Hi Sup ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-02-02, version 4.0* Very fun yet a it hard to start off with overall really good game!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
