The Rugby League World Cup 2021 will be held in October and November 2021, and will be one of the most inclusive and diverse events ever hosted in England, promoting the three simultaneous disciplines of the men’s, women’s and wheelchair World Cup. A key factor was ensuring that fans of Rugby League are able to enjoy the best possible tournament, which was not possible under these circumstances. Ultimately this decision has been detrimental to the plans and ambitions of many of the competing nations and potential replacement teams. This is despite all requests from international rugby league federations having been met which included the rigorous health measures that have been keeping thousands of elite athletes from around the world safe whilst competing in major sporting events across the UK over the last year. Tournament organisers faced several unique and complex challenges with the most significant being the non-release of up to 400 players, match officials and staff members from the NRL competition in Australia. This follows extensive and urgent consultation conducted by RLWC2021 Chief Executive Officer Jon Dutton and his team, which engaged players, competing nations, the Rugby League Players Association (Australia), UK Government, hosts, commercial and broadcast partners. The extremely difficult decision was taken by the RLWC2021 Board, which includes representation from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and the International Rugby League (IRL) Board. Once we find them, that is.Rugby League World Cup 2021 (RLWC2021) and the UK Government have announced their intention to stage the flagship event in the international Rugby League calendar in 2022. Sporting all the best players in the world, plenty of depth, and the chance to smash some helmet-less faces into the mud, it’s a title that we can really sink our teeth into. Ultimately, you don’t need to be well-schooled in the sport to get a kick out of Rugby 08 – and if you’re not, the rollicking good time you’ll have will pique your interest. The World League in particular really gives Rugby 08 some legs, although it’s no easy task to turn your chumps into world champs. You take a third-division squad, manage the players, team chemistry, salaries, and transfer markets with the goal of advancing up a rung each season.
Lastly is the World League, similar to Winning Eleven‘s Master League mode. There are also some other licensed tournaments, featuring both international and club play. Our personal favorite is the Challenge Mode, which dumps you in historical World Cup scenarios and gives you the chance to accomplish some feats that did – and didn’t – happen in the past. Once the Cup has come and gone, though, there are plenty of other ways to mix it up.
You can jump right into the 2007 Cup as one of dozens of international sides help New Zealand’s legendary All Blacks regain the title that’s eluded them since the inaugural tournament in 1987, pilot their archrival Aussies to the championship, captain the defending champs England in pursuit of a repeat, or take any of the other qualified countries through pool play to the Finals. Knowing that many of us Yanks will be wholly unfamiliar with much of the goings on at the outset, the fairly good controls tutorial and additional in-depth training really let you soak up the knowledge and familiarize yourself with the fundamentals.Įven though “World Cup” isn’t in the game’s title, this year’s tournament is represented here in its entirety. The controls respond particularly well some nifty dual analog stick tactics let your carrier sidestep, smash into, or otherwise pummel the opposing tacklers with relative ease, while the ruck, line out, and kicking mechanics are intuitive too.
The muddied, rough and tumble action on the field is quite solid, although the movement can get slightly choppy when the action gets overheated. What’s that – you don’t? No worries, as it teaches you the basics and lets you go from there. If you know your rucks from your mauls and your blood bins from your scrums, you’ll be right at home with Electronic Arts’ latest tribute to football’s forebear. Pads? Helmets? Bah – those are for wimps. Just in time for the quadrennial Rugby World Cup in September, the toughest sport on the planet makes a return appearance to your PlayStation 2 in the form of Rugby 08.
