Just wanted to add something with regards to a comment I saw about the sliders of difficulty.
I do think the game should have the sliders but have some presets. I am thinking the game can be used to increase the rugby fanbase, but you need to get an easy enough / arcade style play so someone unfamiliar with Rugby can pick it up and play then increase the difficulty to simulation mode. This is just a thought comparing something like Don Bradman Cricket to other cricket games. It could turn off casual or newbies that need a simpler gameplay to get used to it before they can get comfortable with the complexity of the game.
