How to Play International Rugby
Quick start
Start with a friendly match on the easiest settings. On attack, move into space, pass before defenders close and kick for touch when trapped near your own line. On defence, approach from the ball carrier's front or side and time the tackle. Learn scrums, line-outs, conversions and restarts in short matches before attempting a tournament.
Controls
D-pad: move and choose menu or set-piece options. The three action buttons handle context-sensitive passing or kicking, tackles and player selection; Start pauses. Exact A/B/C assignments could not be verified, so follow the on-screen prompts for scrums, line-outs and place kicks.
