The game is a brilliant masterpiece and a great translation of rugby, providing a fun experience even with fictional teams.
Gameplay mechanics are solid, with options to customize settings that enhance realism, and the Be a Pro mode is well-received.
The addition of features like the ability to add up to 5 players in the ruck is a significant improvement, making the gameplay more engaging.

The game runs poorly on certain platforms, such as the Steam Deck, and has issues with saving progress.
Lack of licensed teams and South African provincial teams may disappoint some players.
Graphics are underwhelming for a game released in December 2020, showing little improvement over previous titles in the franchise.
