Nice - hope the home office goes well! Stadiums and cyberfaces sound great. I'm going to be spending some time soon improving the method for producing my custom faces - jim546 on the forum has posted a tutorial on improving the assignment/rigging of facial animations and the neck which, if I figure it all out, will hopefully make the customs faces a lot cleaner looking. Also have a few touch ups to do on players with missing texture patches or odd looking hair etc. and plenty more players to add.
I've had a quick look into the english file and the xml files and think I know what I need to edit. Realised I need to use hex editor to edit and I had one that has expired it's trial so will get another and have a go at this soon as it would be great to have the real stadium names and reassign/move around some stadiums to make best use of the new custom stadiums that are available.
By the way I've made a google sheets doc listing current teams and their stadiums - I posted it on the stadiums thread so hopefully it will be useful to keep track of new stadiums especially when a new patch update comes around
docs.google.com
I've got three more questions of things I'm curious about:
1) How do you change the background images on the menu screen? I really like the updated images but they come up a but pixelated for me - wonder if it is the custom screen resolution edit that I have on my profile but I wanted to have a play around to see if I could get a image looking a bit clearer. Also the same for changing the starting video - how do you change it/which file? Was wondering whether we could change to highlights of RWC19 or similar for now maybe. I think I understand how to change music but haven't had a go.
2) It might just be a strange bugbear for me but I don't like how the game adds +5 rating for star players and +1 for attributes to get the overall rating. I would prefer if those improve the player but not actually impact the overall rating - basically I'm after ratings closer to FIFA and I think that would be easier to compare between players without these additional rating boosts. I was wondering if anyone has ever looked into/managed to figure out which files relate to how player ratings are calculated? Also aware the player rating is just a average of two/three relevant stats and doesn't take the rest into account
3) How would you go about adding in a team and assigning them a squad outside of woosahs? Say I want to add in more team's like in peter83s patch (one version with many teams, the other with working WL - both updated rosters etc.). I know you need to activate the team in be29 file and add in all the relevant big and fsh files but then how would I assign players to that team if I can't access it via Woosah's?
To mod the background images, you need a decent image that is 896(W) x 512(H) in .png format.
Once you have the image, you will need to split the image up into 3 sections (from left to right)
1.) 512(W) x 512(H)
2.) 256(W) x 512(H)
3.) 128(W) x 512(H)
The background screens are as follows.
Keep in mind, specific screens load for specific tournaments - so you will need a super rugby screen for super rugby...etc.

The main loading screen is: 341cf61cb6f2f38262f7203d0d3bde7b.fsh
There is the odd image in there which is split into 6 pieces. Sorry I cant remember which ones, but I have extracted the original GOB file and used those as my reference. The other way to identify screens is to use process monitor and set the filters to 'process name' 'is' 'Rugby08' and 'path' 'ends with' '.fsh'.
You can also add another filter to include .big and another one for .xml files, depending on what file you are trying to trace.
