mine had a glitch instead of saying grayston with a restart..it said grayston with a retard..hillarious!! @teamandromeda ..i concur the classic game and i wish i never got rid of my ps1 with lomu :-(
The only down side this game had at all was the ability to accidentally pass the ball when nobody was there, usually resulting in a line out or an easy try for the opposition.
@7dayspking Rugby 08 is good but no were near as good as this, for it's time it had amazing graphics, features and gameplay. The control's were amazing, you sound as though your about 12 and probably never even played this game so how the fuck would you know whats better...
@WELSHYx i'm 16 thisgame is better for it's time buty rugby 08 is actualhy the better game the graphics gameplay controls sounds commentary the kicking tackling and takle breaking better
@7dayspking It's as you would expect from a game of it's time on par with things like Fifa and madden. Where as Jonah Lomu's game was simply astonishing for it's time ahead of any other sports game and as the first major rugby game it holds a lot of nostalgia for you and old players !
This is far and away the best rugby game ever made.
Everything since has been piss poor in comparison.
If you have a PSP, you can play the PS1 version on it and see what everyone here means. It was innovative and engaging with classic matches for you to play as well as the standard exhibition and tournament modes.
I would gladly pay £20 for a direct port of this game on my XBox 360 right now. Best sports game ever in my opinion.
like most of you here we have all had amazing matches on this game against family and friends this game needs a remake....or should be downloadible on PSN or even XBOX live....
"Digs like a demented mole there" absolute classic game, me and my brother would have some awesome games on this, controls and freedom in the gameplay i dont think will ever be matched in a sport game.

The commentry on this game was fucking legendary! "Mercey me, that could have put him in ward 4!" - "i hope not, thats the maternity ward..." hahaha! Brilliant!!!!
The rucking, lineout, scrum and maul system is superior to EA Rugby. It's as if EA have taken the set pieces out of the equation. Here you had to fight for possession. The only letdown was the AI on attack, it was never a threat. I dont use the handoff or sidestep, it makes the game moe enjoyable.
