Playing Rugby Games on the Net

Often called the sport of gentlemen, rugby hasn’t always found it easy to cross over into the virtual world. That being said, there are various rugby games on the internet that allow you to experience the sport firsthand.
Rugby games can range from taking control of the whole team to just focusing on one particular aspect of the sport. For instance, Team Rugby Challenge presents you with different scenarios for your team to overcome. After you have picked your country of choice you are presented with a challenge – scoring a try within 20 seconds for example – and you only have to use the arrow keys and the z key to move your players and pass the ball. Simple really but thoroughly entertaining.
However you do not need to control a full team to enjoy these online rugby games. Some, like Rugby Challenge, allow you to practice your conversion skills. By simply using the arrow keys and your mouse for power and direction you get the chance to try and get the ball in between the posts while earning points at the same time for each successful conversion you make.
In fact, with the England Academy game, you can practice various aspects of the sport in isolation – Rugby Challenge is limited to conversion kicks. In this rugby game you can hone your scrum skills, your passing, tackling as well as an advanced level on kicking. It is perhaps the most well rounded of the online rugby games that are available as it isn’t confined to just one aspect of the game but attempts to incorporate nearly all of them. Furthermore, at the end of your spell in the England Academy, you will get the opportunity to put all these newly found skills to the test and partake in the Six Nations Championship.
