Unlike the 1st and 2nd Rugby Challenge game, this version won't include the Top 14 and Pro12 tournaments due to the rights being licensed by Bigben Interactive.

Extensive customisation

As a tradition in Rugby Challenge titles, players will have the ability to extensively customise the players and teams and will be able to do so even more extensively this time with the new FanHub, where players can be uploaded to share with the community. A demo version of the FanHub for Windows was released on 28 July 2015 when the game was officially announced.[2]
