Bat-to-ball games on the other hand should be relatively easy if the devs actually understand the game. Sadly it is against the laws of nature to make a good rugby game.

Reading the rules on Wikipedia is all well and good, but I don't think they really do it justice in terms of actual comprehension. I've always been interested in the less North American sports, since ours seem to be either boring snoozefests (baseball), or else macho brawls with the action constantly broken up, either by design ("football") or by constant breaks for advertising (everything else). Maybe it's just overfamiliarity and "grass is greener" thinking, and maybe I'll find it as boring as our own sports, but at least I can find out for myself. :) Now I just need a computer game for rugby … I see this as a chance to learn the rules in a more hands-on fashion.
