    Western Force in Juno Lomu Rugby Challenge

    I don't know if anyone on here is a gamer (yes I know boo hiss kids stuff) lol But I've been playing with the Western Force and getting my ass handed to me online. Scrum and Lineouts are strong but rucks are terrible. Back line have a tough time with the line breaking other than Cummins and DP. Winston Stanley seems to have some good speed too. Is this true to real life?

    But on a positive note, I added Ebersohn to the team and he's a beast. Lets hope that translates to real life.

    Also anyone else play it on xbox? Finding it is a great way to get to know the players right now.

    Again, my apologies for talking fictional stuff.

    I played wallabies rugby challenge and won both the world cup with Wallabies and super rugby with Force. It didn't have the current lineup though (is that an update) I would suggest that this year our ruck play would be the equal of our set piece, but the failing is in the backs. I'd have to say that the game is a whole lot better if you ignore the ruck altogether and just play the offload game, no kicking , pass from side to side and you will generally score. I can't say whether the abilities of the team are matched because the force haven't played that way since before John Mitchell moved on.

    Oh, and the game is made in new Zealand so the AllBlacks are virtually unbeatable. It seems that in the last five minutes of any half they suddenly become monsters of the breakdown and nobody can secure any ball at all, along with coating themselves with butter to become impossible to tackle, you get your ass handed to you every time. I won the world cup because they lost to France in the quarter finals and I played south Africa in the final.

    I used the Wallabies last night guy took NZ and I got a whooping couldn't bring those guys down. I was owning a guy with the force vs his France and he quit lol I got beat vs the Rebels with a tight defensive game was 0-0 until the clock and he got a drop goal to win it I was flaming the screen.

    I won the Super 15 with the Force too. So we know it's not true to life lol

    Oh Wallabies Rugby Challenge is the same thing it's just a different cover art is all. Here in America I didn't have a choice of cover art. Any time you want to have your ass whooped let me know, we'll arrange a time.

    The game is alright but I got sick of putting 50 points on every team with the Force and the Wallabies. Agree with Gigs just okay the offload game and just go from side to side and you will bust the defensive line

    Haven't played it for a whole so might dust it off again sometime soon.

    Unfortunately I'm on the PS3

    I would, but can't justify the cost of Xbox live gold, since rugby is the only game I'm actually good at.

    Don't you get a free trial month for gold if you create an account, GIGS? Failing that I'm sure I have a weekend trial code somewhere in this cesspit.

    Starting to win some games 3-9 record with the force. Taken down guys with the Brumbies, Claremont and Rebels. Gave the Brumbies a thrashing quite rightly.

    Yes in Australia it's sold as Wallabies challenge, in NZ it's All Blacks Challenge and everywhere else it's JL challenge. Same games just different marketing for different regions.
