Solid and fun rugby gameplay with good Be a Pro mode and Rugby 7s options.
Sliders and customization options improve gameplay realism and player experience.
Effective combination of features from previous versions enhances the rugby simulation.

No option to save custom players, disappointing long-time fans.
Lack of licensing limits team variety and South African provincial teams are missing.
Graphics are outdated and the game runs poorly on some platforms with occasional AI flaws.

The gameplay remains solid and faithful to previous entries in the series, offering familiar mechanics and improved features that enhance the experience. However, the save system is problematic, and the graphics show minimal improvement since earlier titles. Overall, it is recommended for rugby fans despite these issues.
- “I've messed around with these a little and can say they improve the gameplay significantly.”
- “The save mechanics of the game are quite poor as I often find myself unable to actually save any of my changes.”
- “Animations and gameplay mechanics haven't changed since Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, but if it's not broken, don't fix it.”
- “Graphics are a bit disappointing for a game that was originally released in December 2020, and haven't really seen much of a graphical improvement over the span of the Rugby Challenge franchise, but the gameplay is solid so I would definitely recommend this game for rugby fans.”

The graphics are somewhat disappointing and show little improvement compared to earlier entries in the Rugby Challenge series, especially for a game released in late 2020. However, the solid gameplay compensates for the lackluster visuals.
