Rugby Challenge 2 received mixed to negative reviews from critics.

The Digital Fix gave it 6/10, with Rob Kershaw criticising the poor licensing, repetitive cutscenes and dull commentary, but singled out the Career mode as a major improvement over the first game.

NZGamer gave it 7.4/10, noting that it was better than the first game, but not enough to justify the length of time between the titles.
