About this game

Rugby Nations 26 puts you at the heart of the action. Build your team and take on the best teams from around the world. Play through every ruck, maul, and bitterly contested try as you rise through the ranks and carve out your place among Rugby Legends.

CORE GAMEPLAY
Jackaling and bump-offs keep the momentum of the match flowing, while charge down kicks and calling mark give you greater control of the defensive side of the sport. Adaptive intercepts add more risk to those clutch plays but make it all the more rewarding to steal possession of the ball in this highly immersive rugby simulator.

CLUB MODE 2.0
Choose your team's country of origin and take on local teams all the way up to national Rugby Legends. Move up the ladder, gain promotion to challenging higher leagues, and battle it out in the playoffs to become champions. Take part in inter-season tournaments and face teams from around the world.

KIT DESIGNER
A complete overhaul to the kit designer allows you to give your team their own unique identity. Mix and match all new designs, selecting individual colours for every aspect of your kit from collar to boot. Design a kit your team can wear with pride as you score epic tries and celebrate your victories on the pitch.

MATCH PRESENTATION
Match commentary makes each game feel like a moment in Rugby Union history, highlighting all your masterful plays during gameplay. Listen as the crowd goes wild, filling the stadium with an atmosphere never felt before on mobile. Animated Scoreboards respond to your epic plays, pre-match sequences show off your team roster, and end-of-match statistics spotlight your top players. All that, along with an expanded portfolio of celebration and gameplay match cutscenes, further immerses you in the action.

IMPROVED REALISM
Varied weather and time of day add more possibilities to each match as you play from dawn through dusk during scattered showers, intense snow or foggy conditions. New stadium surroundings and a greater variety of players help breathe new life into each match, making each match feel different, with enhanced grass rendering coating the pitch with a fresh layer of detail, bringing the Rugby simulation to life like never before.

This game has great mechanics and fun gameplay most of the time. The passing and tackle system needs work as random forward passes are frustrating. Most of all though the energy system is ridiculous which just totally ruins it. As if anyone will pay £7.50 a week or £2.69 for 24 hours of unlimited energy... it's a mobile game reduce your prices or this game will die off fast. If you don't have more money than sense it's slow as all hell to regenerate energy so you can barely play any games.

Sad really.... This is seriously the best rugby game out there, however the fact that you have to watch ads to build energy to play and grow your team stadiums etc is OK, but!!!!..... When you watch the ads and then they freeze the reward is a COMPLETE JOKE! I have written to the developer a few times with no reply or resolution. I would give this game 5 stars any day for gameplay and content but it is 1 star for the failure to get rewards for watching ads.

It's a good game, but please fix the tackler tracking. Often the game decides that the best player to tackle an opponent is half the pitch away, and many a time they run around in circles like headless chickens. My defenders also run AWAY from ball carriers around scrums/rucks, leaving huge gaps. For a free game it's good fun, but please fix that. Also, players' boosted fitness levels vanish from time to time, meaning you have to burn through your stash to reboost your squad.
