THE RUGBY WORLD CUP starts in just over a week so what better reason to dust down the Playstation One, lug it into the office and create the perfect excuse to sit around and play one of the most iconic video games of all time?
[Do people still call them video games or are we showing our age there? - Ed]
Anyway, it’s fair to say there’s a lot of love for Jonah Lomu Rugby in The42 Towers so, after having a heated office tournament, we asked a few of our writers to describe just what makes the game so special:
He’s digging like a demented mole there!
That hit could of but him into ward 4…..
I hope not, that’s a maternity ward..
I “hit” a girl once, she ended up in ward 4 and now I’m paying child support.
When you unlocked the secret teams after winning the World Cup,,Team Lomu!!!
Laksanasongpong….with the kick
The forwards are like a group of Sherman Tanks moving up the field!
BUNCE!
Zinzan Brooke!
After that hit he going to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary!!
Quality game loved it love to play it now god knows were it is in my parents home.
‘CORKERRRYYY’
Absolutely quality game. Did anyone else have a thing against using hand offs? If only there was an online version!
“like two cattle trucks in a shunting yard”
Who’s da young lad at the end?
When playing with Ireland vs New Zealand:
Plan A: Tackle and get the ball to Simon Geoghegan.
Plan B: Tackle and get the ball to Simon Geoghegan.
Plan C: Tackle and get the ball to Simon Geoghegan.
Plan D: Tackle and get the ball to Simon Geoghegan.
Plan E: Tackle and get the ball to Simon Geoghegan.
You get the idea…even if some of the fans won’t be happy with that…
Theres a bit of yahoo going on there in the front row!!
“UNDERWOOD!!!!”

i never lost a game of that in my life that Jonah Lomu game, although the most accurate rugby game i have ever played was Rugby world cup 2011 . that was class ..
I’ve read reviews of the RWC 2015 game and it’s supposed to be absolute muck. Not even on a par with 2011 version. One to avoid apparently
They’re like cattle trucks in a shunting yard!
