So every time games are mentioned in a post or comments one person will always mention Rugby 06 and another will also mention Rugby 08. I do stand by these two games being the last two Rugby games you could buy at the time and think "Hey this is pretty good". So the question is, which one was better?
(Also feel free to reminisce destroying your friends with cheese moves like the "up and under kick off", the O'Driscoll "can't be tackled" the Shane Williams "Spin around in circles to avoid any tackles" and the (Insert any big kicker) "22 to 22 clearance kick which always leads to a try"

Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
Theyβre on standbi
Pilot on me!!
