A new patch will begin rolling out tonight for Rugby 25, the following is included.

**Added Ruck Hold Ball option**  
Holding the Xbox A or PlayStation X will hold onto the ball in a ruck, protecting it against being stolen by the opposition. Holding the ball for a long time risks being penalised for not releasing.

**Adjusted Evasion Controls**  
The controls for evasion moves on offense have been adjusted. With the right stick, Up is Bump Off, Left and Right are a Sidestep and Down will Fend. These controls are camera relative as per the movement of the left stick.

**Improved Stamina System**  
The stamina system has been better balanced, including how difficulty level impacts the stamina drain rate.

**Increased Custom Competition Clubs**  
Increased the number of teams for custom competitions to 20 and corrected issues with playing finals formats other than a single grand-final.

**Improved Stability**  
Resolutions to stability issues reported to our support team have been included in this patch.
