This is a great piece of news for those of us in the northern hemisphere who had a long delay when the first rugby challenge was released. The release date means the game will come out two weeks into the tour. So you will be able to play the NSW Waratahs at the same time as the Lions.
With some great enhancements and some basics that were missing from the first game incorporated into this edition the hope is this will do the greatest game on earth (writers opinion) justice.
