About World Class Rugby

World Class Rugby is a sports simulation tied to the 1991 Rugby World Cup, an event whose final participants are represented. The software allows participation in that specific tournament with its complete roster of teams, alongside other match types like exhibition games and a smaller league competition.

User control over the experience is extensive, with many settings adjustable before play. These include selecting from ten distinct skill levels, modifying the length of a match, and choosing whether to enforce the offside rule. The state of the playing field can also be altered, and significant moments like tries can be reviewed and stored via a replay function.

Its systems are designed to mirror the official sport's regulations. Standard gameplay situations such as scrums, line-outs, penalty kicks, and drop goals are all incorporated into the simulation.
