Which players deserve a Star/impact player status in 2012?

from sa stars
victor/ juan smith/ jaque fourie
from nz star
mccaw/ carter/ nonu
from aus star
mitchell/ waugh/ cooper
ya but they need to get the super 15 licensing right...imagine a great game with kankowski makin that linebreak ahhh mesmorisin
 
Considering i'm Irish i'll pick 2 or 3 players from the Irish team I think are really good.

1. Brian O'Driscoll, best of the lot.
2. Tommy Bowe
3. Ronan O Gara

There all really great players, so they'd be at the top in the Irish team..

But the best of them all in the game, highest, would have to be NZ's Dan Carter, of course.

Heh, good one.
 
If there are star players it should be more like this:

RSA:
Victor Matfield
Fourie du Preez

AUS:
Cooper
Genia
Mustache Beale

NZ:
Dan Carter
McCaw
Read



ENG:
Foden
Ashton (I haven't watched many of England's games, excuse my ignorance)

IRE:
BOD

WAL:
I have no clue really, coupons, haven't seen a Welsh game in ages, but maybe that new wing of theirs? How has he been doing?

I like a lot of this list; especially the players from Australia. England is my heart but for some reason I pull for Australia sometimes.
 
Francois Steyn have not seen his name thrown around enough in everyones list a solid impact player maybe even a star.
 
definatly should have david pocock for aus because by the time the game comes out he will be the best flanker in the world
 
I definitely agree. This guy's a monster and he's the real star of Racing Metro 92 since Chabal isn't a s good as he used to be.
 
Most of the Irish "star" players will be drawing their pension by the time the game comes out.
 
Agree. Sexton is ancient, as are Heaslip and Bowe. Must all be in their mid twenties by now.
 
I have been looking forward to this game since rugby 08 was released but if Giteau is made a star or impact player i will burn and urinate on the disc and never play it again. He is a has-been and thank god he is being shipped off to france. If he is given a kicking rating above 25/100 I will personally challenge him to a kicking competition.

On lighter note

u guys gt it all wrong, if this is really goin to b the next generation of rugby games then there needs to be mre impact players!!! think like madden style. u look around the super 15 and evn the comps in europe nd u see heaps of players that are STAR quality. y not do da same in dis bt for mre elite players like carter or mccaw they have mre stats in areas that make them better than the rest.
 
O'Connell, O'Driscaoll, O'Gara the only star palyer with youth is Bowe
 
Definitely should be a few star players for most teams, obviously the best teams with the more star players. But the whole rugby 08 thing of stars appearing on screen when these players catch the ball, thats a rubbish thing which should not be carried forward. The star and impact players should just shown in team selection or player statistics screans for a more realistic game play

Love the idea of like EA did with the football of a World XV and a Classic XV

World XV - all star players

Classic XV - has to include the best, like JPR Williams, Jonah Lomu, Francois Pienaar, Barry John, Jonny Wilkinson, Neil Jenkins, Lawrence Dallaglio, Martin Johnson .....
 
nick evans has to be a star/impact player, hes hands down 2nd best first five in the world, just bad luck hes from the same country as carter

Haha, i'd have to agree here... Him and Hayman would both be impact players IMO... If Carter were about 6 years younger i'd say that Nick Evans' career would have been very different...
