      Yes. Literally (just downloaded the demo) and figuratively (I’ve watched the Six Nations, the Tri Nations, and the Rugby World Cup).

        fair enough. but for me living in a country where this is a major sporting code i kinda got tired of it and US is interesting because it’s different.

        my guess is that the feeling is reciprocated in the US too!

      It’s like American Football, but much, much better.

      Just google “rugby union” and/or “IRB World Cup 2011” you’ll see what this video game is about. Takes about as much time as… typing “I wish I knew what Rugby was”.
      >_<

    None of these football players are wearing helmets! This is a bad influence on children.

      thats because it isnt football.  It is rugby.  This is in no way a bad influence on children, if you play the game right, (and most do) there will be fewer injuries in a game then there are in football. 

      From an American who played college and city league rugby for 7 years and has seen less then 1 worisome injury a season…. how does that compare to any football game you have watched?

         See my above comment. There are several different types of football; rugby union and rugby league are but two of them. So both you and Subopti have semantically missed the mark.

        Oh… and how are your ears doing?😉

      Rugby is indeed a type of football. There are several different types of “football” (American and Australian being but two of them).

      There are two types of rugby football: rugby union, and rugby league. The download is for the rugby union (IRB) 2011 World Cup. Both forms of rugby football derive from the sport invented at Rugby School in England in the early 1800s, where there were *several* different kinds of football (one developing into “association football”, which the British simply call “football” and the Americans call “soccer”).

    Thanks for turning me on to The Guild. However, Major’s gushing over Felicia Day was a bit embarrassing. I had no idea she could walk on water and cure disease with a simple touch of her hand. More hard-hitting questions, Major! We want dirt! Also, the next time E doesn’t get upset about Major going off script will be the first. Dude, it’s an agenda, not the debt ceiling bill. An agenda for a podcast. About video games. That a 41 year-old news director of a radio station with two children listens to weekly. I can’t believe E gets under my skin, but he does. Stop being so angry! You just came back from Italy for crying out loud. Did you rage every time the tour went off script? Angry American in Italy. I love it. I smell a Summer of Arcade release for next year…

    This game is terrible… Overall, it is laughable. When it is just you vs the fullback (which will happen a lot), if you look behind you at 28 people running at the same speed towards you in a mass ball, you cannot say this game is without fault.
