Introduction Titled All Blacks Rugby Challenge in New Zealand, Wallabies Rugby Challenge in Australia, and Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge in the rest of the world, Rugby Challenge game builds on the emotion and adrenaline of world class rugby union from club rugby through to international competition. Developed by Sidhe and published by Tru Blu Entertainment, it features 98 teams, 31 stadia, and 11 competitions, as well as 7 domestic competitions, and 5 international competitions. Commentary is provided by former All Blacks Justin Marshall and Grant Nisbett. If you are new to rugby, the game has a Rules Video which can be found under ‘Training’ in the main menu. Trophy-wise, getting the offline trophies does not take very long, approximately 6 hours at most if you decide to simulate all the matches. If you do decide to play through the matches, they can be played through on any difficulty. Needless to say, it will be much quicker playing on Very Easy than on Pro, but the choice is ultimately yours. Obtaining the online trophies is more time-consuming, however. It is necessary to play out 50 matches in full, which can take approximately 4-5 hours. Walkthrough Step 1: Training Earning gold medals in each training run will give you a significant boost towards ‘Bank of Toulon’. If you are new to rugby in general, it is recommended you watch the Rules Video. Even if you are new to this specific game, it is recommended you do the tutorials to make it easier in obtaining specific match-related trophies. By the end of getting gold in each training run, you should unlock the following trophy: No School Boy Difficulty Here Step 2: Competitions As previously mentioned, it is quickest if you simulate the matches as opposed to actually playing them. If you do decide to play through manually, consider attempting to unlock some of the trophies from Step 5: Miscellaneous trophies / Cleanup play. You need to win all the matches in World Rugby Championship, playing as high-ranked team will make it more likely for you to win the competition. You only need to complete Rugby 15, Quad Nations, ITM Cup, and Top 14 Orange (Rabodirect Pro12, Tri Nations, Euro Nations, Euro Club Championship, Aviva Premiership Rugby, and Bledisloe Cup Series are not necessary). By the end of playing through the necessary Competitions, you should unlock the following trophies: Where Is Tim Timber? Super, Thanks For Asking There's No Forfeiting This One Working On My Quads World Champ Domination Step 3: Career Mode Like in Step 2: Competitions, it is recommended you simulate the matches as opposed to actually playing them. If you play through manually, consider trying to obtain trophies from Step 5: Miscellaneous trophies / Cleanup play. Playing as a low-ranked team and selecting to play international games only will make the playthrough quicker for two reasons: they are less likely to progress past the group stages in the World Rugby Championship, and are not likely to play in competitions outside the World Rugby Championship. By the end of career, you should unlock the following trophy: Hardcore Fan Step 4: Online You will need to complete at least 50 matches online to obtain the online trophies. It is possible that you will unlock some of the trophies from Step 5: Miscellaneous trophies / Cleanup play whilst completing the online matches. After completing the required number of matches, you should unlock the following trophies: Good Sport Online Captain Step 5: Miscellaneous trophies / Cleanup play If you have not previously unlocked these trophies, you will need to play matches and perform the specific in-match tasks required to unlock most of them. ‘Conversion Point Pro’ can only be achieved on Pro difficulty, and the other in-match tasks are recommended to play on Very Easy. By the end of playing online, you should have enough money to unlock ‘Bank of Toulon’ and ‘Tribute’. You will also need to perform specific game tasks. By the end of cleaning up the remaining trophies you should unlock: Thanks Team That’s No Oil Painting, But OK Tall As Metcalfe Possessed This is My House Lack of Discipline Oh The Memories!

 | Rugby Challenge Accepted |  |
| Get all Rugby Challenge Trophies | (4) |
|
 | Good Sport |  |
| Complete 25 online matches | |
See ‘Online Captain’. |
 | Online Captain |  |
| Complete 50 online matches | (12) |
This can be achieved by completing 50 online matches. The trophy will unlock after the 50th match. These can be private or public. You must stay until the very end of the match for it to count (rage-quitters don’t count). You can see how many matches you have completed by going to 'Play Online', and then 'Leaderboard'. |
 | Tall as Metcalfe |  |
| Win 60% of lineouts in a match that aren't thrown by your team | (1) |
In order to unlock this trophy, you must win over 60% of opposition lineouts in a single match. The trophy will unlock after the match has ended. To win a line out that isn’t thrown by your team, shift the players up and down a lineout by using or and then press , , or to make your player jump and contest the lineout. You will win a lineout if your player grabs the ball and then places it on your side of the newly-formed maul. If you do not unlock this trophy during your normal playthroughs, this can be easily done by playing on very easy and playing as a high-rated team (such as New Zealand [91/100] or Lomu All Stars [96/100]) against a low-rated team (such as Germany [45/100], or Spain [48/100]). |
 | World Champ Domination |  |
| Win the World Championship Competition without losing or drawing a match | (1) |
The description is self-explanatory; to unlock this trophy, you must win the World Cup Championship by only winning all the matches. The trophy will unlock after you have won the competition without losing or drawing a match. This mode can be found under ‘Competitions’ at the main menu. If you lose or draw any matches, the trophy will not unlock. This trophy can easily be achieved by playing as a high-ranked side (for example, New Zealand, Australia [88/100], or South Africa [86/100]) and simulating the matches. An easy way to simulate the matches quickly is to press to switch tabs to ‘Fixtures’ and press or to bring up ‘My Team’. You can scroll down to the final match and press to simulate the matches up to that point. You will need to manually simulate the matches after pool play has finished. For extra security, you may wish to actually the play the final knockout matches instead of risking simulating and losing. If you simulate them, however, the trophy will still unlock. |
 | Possessed |  |
| Maintain Over 60% possession in a match | |
In order to unlock this trophy, you must maintain over 60% possession in a single match. For tips on how to do this, see ‘This Is My House’. |
 | This is My House |  |
| Maintain over 60% territory in a match | |
In order to unlock this trophy, you must maintain over 60% territory in a single match. The trophy will unlock soon after the match is completed. If you do not unlock this trophy during your normal playthroughs, it can be easily done in a similar way to the previously mentioned ‘Tall As Metcalfe’ (by playing as a high-ranked team against a low-ranked team). At the end of the match, it will show the statistics for the game, including the possession and territory for each team. If you are having difficulty, a tip is to stay in the opposition’s half (preferably the 22 area) and pass the ball from one side of the field to another, ensuring that you get enough players to the ruck each time to maintain control over the ball. |
 | Lack of Discipline |  |
| The ref calls one red card against you | (5) |
In order to get this trophy, you must have a player on your team red-carded. The trophy will unlock after your player has been red-carded. To get a player red-carded, you need to make a point of performing dangerous tackles (by pressing ) when running at the opposition ball-carrier. To be red-carded (sent off for the remainder off the match), the same player has to be yellow-carded (sent off for 10 minutes) in the same match. If more than three of your players are yellow-carded at the same time, you will forfeit the match. As of update 2.00, this is easier by going to ‘Help & Options’ at the main menu, selecting ‘Gameplay’, and setting the ‘High Tackle Frequency’ to the maximum. A tip is to play a two-player match for the maximum duration (80 minutes). |
 | A Gentleman's Game |  |
| Do not concede more than 2 penalties in a single match | |
To unlock this trophy, you must not concede more than 2 penalties in a single match. The trophy will unlock after you have completed the match. This trophy will not unlock if you concede more than two penalties in a single match. To name a few, penalties may be awarded for high tackles, offsides, forward passes, or knock-ons (please note that this list is not exhaustive). If you do not unlock this trophy during your normal playthrough, it can be done easily by playing as a high-ranked team against a low-ranked team for a short duration match (5 minutes is the shortest possible time limit). |
 | End-To-End |  |
| Make a try-scoring run which starts within your own in-goal area | (1) |
To unlock this trophy, you must score a try from a run that originated in your own in-goal area. The trophy will unlock soon after you have scored the try. You must run the length of the field without being grounded in a tackle after the player receives the ball in the in-goal area. If your player receives the ball to begin with outside the in-goal area (but runs back into the in-goal area) then scores, the trophy will not unlock. A tip is to start with a ruck close to your in-goal area (for example, the 5-metre mark), and press or to pass the ball back and wide to a player for them to run the full length of the field. The more contested the ruck, the more the opposition (but also your own) players will be drawn towards, or become involved in, the ruck. This can result in their wings becoming more exposed, allowing you to run the full length of the field (or sideline) and score. You do not have to successfully convert the try for this trophy to unlock. |
 | Conversion Point Pro |  |
| Score a conversion on pro difficulty | |
To achieve this trophy, you must successfully convert a try (for 2 points) or a penalty (for 3) on Pro diffuclty. The trophy will unlock soon after the conversion is successful. A tip is to play as a high-ranked team against a low-ranked team for a long duration match (the most is 80 minutes) and to score as many tries as possible under the goalposts (so you have more chances to kick from the best angle to kick from, thus a better chance to convert). To get the kick in the exact direction you want, you must press when the two white lines meet at the white line in the centre. If you press in the blue area, the kick will be roughly on-target. Outside the blue area, the kick will not be on target. For obvious reasons, better goalkickers will make it easier to convert; New Zealand’s Daniel Carter is one of the best in the game and will make it easier to get this trophy. Wind speed and direction will affect the ball when it is in the air, so it is best to try unlocking this trophy playing on fine weather conditions. |
 | Team Player |  |
| Win 10 matches, each as a different team | |
To unlock this trophy, you must win 10 matches, each playing as a different team. The trophy will unlock when you win as the 10th team. This trophy will not unlock if you simulate matches. You must actually play the game for it to unlock. This can be achieved by playing on any difficulty. |
 | Played for Our Sins |  |
| Win a match with 2 players sent off | (6) |
In order to get this trophy, you must have two players on your team yellow-carded. The trophy will unlock after you win the match. To get a player yellow-carded, you need to make a point of performing dangerous tackles (by pressing ) when running at the opposition ball-carrier. If more than three of your players are yellow-carded at the same time, you will forfeit the match. As of update 2.00, this is easier by going to ‘Help & Options’ at the main menu, selecting ‘Gameplay’, and setting the ‘High Tackle Frequency’ to the maximum. A tip is to play a two-player match for the maximum duration (80 minutes). You must ensure that you ultimately win the match. |
 | The Catt Memorial Service |  |
| Break through a full back with Jonah Lomu | (1) |
You must break through a fullback’s tackle when playing as Jonah Lomu to unlock this trophy. The trophy will unlock soon after you break out of the tackle. This trophy is easiest achieved playing on very easy against a low-rated team. Jonah Lomu features in the Lomu All Stars team. He always plays on the left wing (number 11) and fullbacks are typically the number 15 at the centre and furthest back. This trophy is easiest if you press to pass the ball wide and left, then to sprint at the fullback (fending may be required by pushing ). You do not have to score for this to unlock. Below is a tip on how this trophy can be achieved easiest:
‘Team Lomu’ can also be used to obtain this trophy as it is solely comprised of Jonah Lomu. |
 | Where is Tim Timber? |  |
| Win the ITM Cup Competition | (1) |
To unlock this trophy, you must win the ITM Cup competition. The trophy will unlock when you have finished the competition. It is easiest if you play as a high-rated team (Crusaders [74/100], Waikato [71/100], or Auckland [70/100]) on very easy. For advice on how to unlock this trophy quickly, see ‘Working On My Quads’. |
 | Super, Thanks For Asking |  |
| Win the Rugby 15 Competition | |
To unlock this trophy, you must win the Rugby 15 competition. The trophy will unlock when you have finished the competition. It is easiest if you play as a high-rated team (Crusaders [82/100], Praetoria [80/100], or Reds [79/100]) on very easy. For where to find this mode and advice on how to unlock this trophy quickly, see ‘Working On My Quads’. |
 | There's No Forfeiting This One |  |
| Win the Top 14 Competition | |
To unlock this trophy, you must win the Top 14 competition. The trophy will unlock when you have finished the competition. It is easiest if you play as a high-rated team (Stade Toulousain Rugby [72/100], USA Perpignan [72/100], Rugby Club Toulonnais [72/100], Racing-Métro 92 [72/100]) on very easy. For where to find this mode and advice on how to unlock this trophy quickly, see ‘Working On My Quads’. |
 | Working On My Quads |  |
| Win the Quad Nations Competition | |
To unlock this trophy, you must win the Quad Nations competition. The trophy will unlock when you have finished the competition. It is easiest if you play as a high-rated team (New Zealand or Australia) on very easy. You can simulate the matches, and it is much quicker if you do. An easy way to simulate the matches quickly is to press to switch tabs to ‘Fixtures’ and press or to bring up ‘My Team’. You can scroll down to the final match and press to simulate the matches up to that point. You will need to manually simulate the matches after pool play has finished. For extra security, you may wish to actually the play the final knockout matches instead of risking simulating and losing. If you simulate them, however, the trophy will still unlock. |
 | Hardcore Fan |  |
| Complete Career Mode | (5) |
To unlock this trophy, you must complete Career mode. The trophy will unlock when you have finished the career. It is easiest if you select ‘international only’ and simulate all your matches. You will need to play up to the year 2023, but cannot simulate multiple matches at once. It is also easiest if you select a team such as Germany or Spain, given that they are unlikely to progress past their group stages in the World Rugby Championship. |
 | Bank of Toulon |  |
| Collect $100,000 Rugby Dollars | (2) |
To unlock this trophy, you must have a total balance of $100,000 at one time. This trophy will unlock once you have an available balance of $100,000. After you have completed a match, there will be a yellow in-game pop up in the top right-hand corner showing your available balance. You can also view your balance in the ‘Rugby Store’ from the main menu. Completing training with all gold medals will give you around $40,000. Winning a game online gives you $1000, whilst losing or drawing will give you $500. Winning a single offline match will give you $500, but completing a tournament (such as Quad Nations, or World Rugby Championship) in Career mode will give you $1000. Selecting a lower-rated team means that you are more likely to be knocked out of the tournament early, but you will still get the same reward regardless of whether you win or not. Simulating games offline is a much quicker way to earn money given the resulting reward is the same if you actually play the game. |
 | No School Boy Difficulty Here |  |
| Get gold medals in every tutorial | |
To unlock this trophy, you need to get a gold medal in all of the 28 tutorials (across four difficulties). This trophy will unlock after you have obtained a gold medal in all the tutorials. You can find the tutorials under ‘Training’ in the main menu. Each tutorial has instructions for learning the moves and controls of the game. You will be assigned a task relating to the game skill or control, and depending on how well you do it, you will be given a gold, silver, or bronze medal. Needless to say, gold medals are awarded for doing the task best. If you have tried the tutorial and not obtained the gold medal, it will give you hints on how to obtain the gold medal for that task. Each of the four difficulty levels has a percentile rating. Achieving gold in each of the seven tasks for that difficulty will raise the percentage to 100%. You do not have to watch the ‘Rules Video’ or do the ‘Run Around’ to achieve this trophy. |
 | That's No Oil Painting, But OK |  |
| Create and save a custom player | |
To unlock this trophy, you must create and save your own custom player. The trophy will unlock as soon as the custom player is completed and saved. You can create a custom player by going into ‘Customise’ from the main menu, then ‘Players’, and then ‘Create Player’. You do not have to make many changes at all for this trophy to unlock. |

 | Oh The Memories! |  |
| Score 4 consecutive tries with Jonah Lomu vs England | (4) |
As the description suggests, you must score four consecutive tries with Jonah Lomu against England to achieve this trophy. The trophy will unlock after you have scored the 4th try. This trophy is easiest achieved playing on very easy. Jonah Lomu features in the Lomu All Stars team. He always plays on the left wing (number 11), and this trophy is easiest if you press to pass the ball wide and then to sprint to the try line (some fending may be required). Conversions are not necessary and will not stop you from achieving this trophy, but you will not be able to get this trophy if you interrupt Lomu’s try-scoring streak with another playing from your team scoring. Below is a tip on how this trophy can be achieved easiest:
‘Team Lomu’ can also be used to obtain this trophy as it is solely comprised of Jonah Lomu. |
 | Thanks Team |  |
| Watch through the credits | |
To obtain this trophy, you just have to watch the entirety of the credits. This trophy will unlock when the credits have finished rolling.
