Well with this game only 2 weeks away from release(Dec 1), I figured there should be a thread about it, RC2006 is made by the same guys that made Jonah Lomu Rugby & World Championship Rugby so the gameplay should be good or at least a hell of a lot better than the EA rugby games.
The only bummer is the lack of official licenses for Souther Hemisphere teams and competitions so we can expect the usual Stephen Larham, Drew Michael etc.
On the upside there is a rugby game that finally has a career mode! plus more competitions even if they are Northern Hemisphere club ones, are always appreciated.
