CLASSIC MATCH Have a go at playing in some of the worlds most famous rugby matches, changing the course of history as you play. ------------------------------------------------------ 6. HINTS/TIPS TO PLAYING Lineouts: Before the ball is thrown, press square to mark the jumper. The best jumpers in the team are usually the 4th player and the second to last player in the lineout. Once the ball is thrown, press [X] and your player should be lifted very high. Easy Rucks:When you want to win a ruck, take a player (preferbaly a larger player such as a forward) and sprint him into it. Just as he enters start tapping [S], causing the player to go in and out of the ruck. This should be able to push the ruck over and let get/keep the ball. ------------------------------------------------------ 7. F.A.Q Q1: What is the best team in Jonah Lomu Rugby? A: In my opinion, the best normal team in Jonah Lomu rugby is New Zealand, closely followed by Australia, South Africa, France and England. Q2: Is there any way to change the time/rules/location/weather in World Cup games? A2: No, they can not be changed from the default. Q3: How do you ge the secret teams? (Team Jonah, Rage, Codemasters) A3: To get these teams you must complete the Territories Cup by winning every division. Q4: Can you play as the secrect teams in a friendly match? A4: No, you can only play as those teams in a Territories cup. ------------------------------------------------------ COPYRIGHT INFORMATION This FAQ is copyright 1999 David Turnbull.
