They need to sort out the Southern Hemisphere competitions. For some reason, the players who play Super Rugby don’t play for their franchise’s domestic team?
Southern Hemisphere career games are disappointing as a result, as the squads and competition structures are not even loosely adhered to.
Great 2015 version of the game apart from that though, but I will not part with any cash if they haven’t MASSIVELY increased what can be edited and also sorted out the Southern Hemisphere competitions.
