Our take on RUGBY 18

The focus on controlling rugby phases and building a club or squad leaves little room for sports outside rugby. Its team selection and modes are tied to rugby competitions and matches rather than a wider sports collection.

What is RUGBY 18?

RUGBY 18 is a rugby game featuring clubs from Aviva Premiership Rugby, PRO14, TOP 14, and PRO D2, along with national teams including England, France, and the All Blacks.

Players control attacks and defence, choosing actions while teammates move into positions based on those decisions. Career mode follows a favourite club through a season, while League mode covers full seasons. Match of the Week offers matches that rewrite past results. My Squad mode lets players recruit from a pool of more than 2,000 rugby players to assemble a team. Matches can be played one-on-one against friends or other players online, or on the same screen.
