Gameplay involves timing a meter that fills up automatically during key moments such as the kick off, scrum, and when the ball goes over a side line. Pressing two buttons at once determines power and curve. While running with the ball, players can pass or kick it to teammates. In defensive positions, tackling and switching between players are possible. Each player has individual statistics based on position, height, weight, speed, passing, rucking, tackling, tactics, kicking and injury. Fixtures for the world cup can be viewed on a separate screen.
