Are there any good Rugby games for PS2 or PS3?

I'll be honest, I don't really know that much about how rugby is played (I get the general concept, don't really know the rules). But, I have a "play date" set for Sunday with a friend of mine and we need a new game to play. I saw a pile of EA Rubgy games for sale but have no idea if any of them are any good.

Suggestions? It would be most helpful if they are fairly readily available as a US release so there is some chance I could find them in a local used game store this weekend.

Man, soccer barely sells over here in the US compared to other sports. I really wouldn't expect any rugby games to have made it over here, much like I wouldn't expect any cricket games either.

You're in luck! Every 2-4 years EA brings a rugby game stateside.

DO NOT but from Hitgaming(the 3rd party seller) this is just a reference page.

Honestly....it's a fun game.

Huh, interesting. I don't play sports games, but that just seems counterintuitive for them to be released here. I stand, err, lay trampled and corrected after a fan riot.

Good choice of words. Soccer and Rugby fans are the most die hard nuts.

Don't get in their way at the celebration. Lose a game flip a car, win a game flip a car.

I only know of the EA games and I haven't played them. I think a cricket game is coming out for 360 soon.

The soccer games at least come out every year in the US.

Even in the UK Rugby games very rarely see a release. Hell, even Madden gets a yearly release here.
