Our take on Rugby 25
The game combines matches with coaching and creation tools, so players seeking only quick rugby fixtures give up some focus. Its broad team lineup and custom-content options come with a wider set of modes and decisions than a match-only format.
What is Rugby 25?
Rugby 25 covers club and international rugby, with over 140 international teams and more than 150 sides from 11 competitions.
Matches include one-off exhibitions and tournaments, playable locally or online against friends and other players. Career Mode puts the player in charge of training, team strategies, and decisions across a coaching career. The Academy lets players create players, teams, jerseys, and stadiums, then share those creations. The game also includes leaderboards and cross-platform online competition. Its focus spans match play, team management, and user-created content, rather than a single mode of rugby play.
