Rugby World Cup 2011 video game

I was wondering if any rugby video games was going to be launched this year, and I just googled it and I found that a rugby video game developed by HB Studios[2] and 505 Game is upcoming: Rugby World Cup 2011

The game will be the Official video game for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and will be released on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 on the 26th of August 2011.

It is expected the game will feature all major international squads, including the 20 nations competing in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. HB Studios have so far confirmed xclusive licenses to the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, French, English and South African national sides, with other major union licenses likely to be announced soon.

However, due to rival game Rugby Challenge due out later in 2011, (being developed by Sidhe) having the exclusive licenses to the All Blacks, Wallabies and USA Eagles, the Australian, New Zealand and USA teams will not feature authentic player faces/details or their official world cup kits within the official Rugby World Cup 2011 game. Although the customisation options in the game, are said to allow for modification of player names and attributes.
