EA sports continues to make leaps and bounds in it's rugby series, Manging to fix a lot of the issues from rugby 05, like the "school of fish" movement of the back line. The graphics continue to get better and the pace of the game is becoming more realistic (faster). It does have some room for improvement, the Players on the users team's AI can some time be non existent, and the drop goal is almost impossible with the side camera view, which is the best for every thing else, and considering the importance of the drop goal in todays game it makes the user resort to a "smash mouth" mode of rugby. The lack of the user being unable to perform a drop goal also gives the cpu an unfair advantage, since the cpu drop gaols liberally when it can't penetrate the defense. Over this game is great and as all game, has room for improvement. Although the past rugby games from ea were probably easier to pick up for players who don't understand the game, this game gives a more realistic feel the rugby gaming experience.
