IRB must promote production of new video game

Opened on July 24, 2009 | Contact Petition Author

To the IRB This is a petition to encourage the IRB to promote and help fund the production of a new rugby vídeo game. Each year there are many different versions video games for all types of sports and yet rugby’s last edition was from 2008 and there is still no new release in the pipeline. Sports video games are a highly effective way to promote a sport, the stars and the brands that go with it from the club all the way up to international level. They allow the user to take part in the sport in a unique and detailed way and creates an ongoing interest. Fans are desperate for a new and challenging online rugby video game that will allow them to live out their passion for the sport. An online gaming community would bring fans together from all over the world and develop an exciting rugby environment. We, the fans, believe that a new high quality video game would generate new interest in the real sport as it would allow people to get involved more directly and give them the thrilling experiences that only video games can deliver. In this day and age a sport as spectacular as rugby deserves a video game to go with it. Let’s make it happen. Thanks James Fisher
