We have seen a lot of sports games made available for the iPhone or the iPod Touch but it seems that this new one will be a new app worthy to check out. This is of course the Rugby Union app which is now available for the iPhone.

But while this is a first for the sport, don’t expect too much as far as features and complications for the game compared to other sports games that have come out. Give it time and for sure enhancements will come.

Rugby Nations is a fun arcade Rugby Union game that’s easy to play, has innovative controls and has great visuals. Using a mixture of touch-screen and tilt controls you pass, sprint, tackle and kick your way up the pitch - precious inch by precious inch - until you dive over the try line to score. Conversion kicks are controlled by a swipe of the screen to set the power and direction of the kick.

The game is set for release at the start of June to coincide with the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa at a great price of €3.99.
