Rugby 08 crashing upon running a penalty (edit: also happened now with a scrum)

[Killswitch]

Hi guys, recently I got Rugby 08 for PC (I only played it on PS2, for a long time btw and I figured the PC version might be even better than the PS2 one which is already very good), but I'm having an annoying issue: 90% of the times a penalty occurs and I choose to run, the game crashes giving me the "Rugby08.exe has stopped working" window. Has anyone ever faced this before and knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I may have fixed the issue. Somehow it was the controllers itself that were causing a bug for some weird reason that made the game crash. The solution was selecting the option for the penalty with the mouse instead of the controller.
