The release date for Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge (rest of the world, excluding US/Canada) was 14 October.

The tutorial helps get you up to scratch and various skills, such as running between cones, practicing kicks, and many other drills can be completed.

However, due to Top 14, Aviva Premiership and RaboDirect Pro12 licenses the players of these countries will be included within the game (England, France, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Italy).

[12] GameSpot commented that "inconsistent presentation and licensing issues trip up Rugby Challenge's run for the try line, but enjoyable gameplay and a wealth of modes give it a decent chance at life beyond the World Cup," giving the game a 65 over 100.

Rugby Challenge 2 was announced on 20 March 2013, the sequel is set for release midyear 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
