Actually, contrary to popular belief there are many many safety rules in Rugby. What to many looks like just a mass of bodies piling up after a contact is actually a very well organised 'ruck', where there are many rules to protect player on the ground, such as, no stamping on players. Also long standing rules such as no tackling above the shoulders have been reinforced comparatively recently with rules such as no tackling men in the air and no spear tackling(a tackle where by you lift your opposition up then force him into the ground head first). Also at any point during the game the referee can stop he game for safety reasons, any play that is seen as dangerous by the referee is an immediate yellow card. hope that just clears a few points up for you

Will there be a rugby 2011 game?

Your best bet is to go to http://www.hb-studios.com/ and just keep checking there. HB Studios were the people that made Rugby 05, 06 and 08, They are reportedly working on another 8 titles.. Hopefully one of them is rugby There will be a rugby2010. The rugby section of EA get so little funding that they can only afford to bring out a rugby game every second year. So we had 06, 08 and we'll have 010, 012, 014 There is a potential for Rugby League live
