this is my first post so first off i will say GREAT news about a new rugby game. i'm sure it will be amazing.

now, here's my list of things i would like added/changed for the game - hopefuly they are'nt unrealistic to do.

1. Coach/Career Mode. (Similar to that of rugby 08, 06 etc, but maybe slightly more detail? more injuries? a youth system? and players ages go up every season with inclusion of retirements?) taking your club through the league, cups etc.

possibly include international career where you take your country on a 4 year career? eg if i am playing the game as wales, i pick my squad for the autumn internationals. then i pick my squad for the 6nations, then a summer tour then start all over again but on the 4th season, the world cup. if i was south africa, i would do the autumn tests, tri nations, summer tests then world cup.

2. Inclusion of a 7s tournament. Magners League. French Top 14. British Lions (Option of picking your squad)

3. Tackling (Everyone enjoys a big hit. how about having an option to line up a man ready for a crunching tackle.) in this section maybe adding shoulder charge? as well as the good ol' swingin' arm!

4. Harsher refs with yellows and red cards for more than illegal tackle? any professional foul or constant collapsing of scrums.

5. Line Outs - Inclusion of throws not straight?

6. Blood Bin? a possible inclusion for a replacement because of blood? when the player is stitched up, he comes back on?

7. interceptions and obviously the risk of missing it and leaking a try.

8. having a weak link in your defence exposed? maybe a smaller player targetted by the bigger ones?

what do you think?
