NRL Rugby League

Rugby League has been in the making for over 12 months and has seen the NRL and New Zealand program developers Sidhe Interactive inundated with requests and suggestions from fans, right down to the best name for the game.

The game will feature 35 licensed teams with official licenses that include the National Rugby League (NRL), NRL Telstra Premiership, State of Origin, City vs Country, the Australian Kangaroos and the New Zealand Kiwis.

With accurate player statistics and 25 realistic stadiums, the game will also support multiplayer.
