    This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.

    Jonah Lomu Rugby is a rugby union game released for the Sega Saturn exclusively in Europe, sponsored by the late New Zealand All Black player Jonah Lomu. In-game commentary is also provided by commentators Bill Beaumont and Bill McLaren.

    Ports also exist for the PlayStation and IBM PC compatibles running DOS. All were developed by Rage Software and published by Codemasters under their short-lived "Sportsmaster" label in 1997

    Gameplay

    Jonah Lomu Rugby is the only rugby game for the Saturn and is loosely based on the 1995 Rugby World Cup (though lacks an official license for the event, debuted two years later and features some teams which did not qualify - an official tie in, Rugby World Cup 1995 was released by Electronic Arts for the Sega Mega Drive).

    Players can compete in friendlies, tournaments, a world cup, territories cups and "classic matches" based on real-life scenarios from previous World Cups. Jonah Lomu is a selectable player and is the only person who cannot be tackled, to the point where the All Blacks have a significant advantage over everyone else and are typically avoided by purists wanting a fair match. Unlike more modern interpretations of the sport, Jonah Lomu Rugby opts for a quicker-paced arcade style of play.

    Teams

    Despite the box claiming there are 32 teams, Jonah Lomu Rugby features 30 teams from around the world:

    • Argentina Argentina
    • Australia Australia
    • Canada Canada
    • China Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)
    • England England
    • Fiji Fiji
    • France France
    • Germany Germany
    • Hong Kong Hong Kong
    • Ireland Ireland
    • Italy Italy
    • Côte d'Ivoire Ivory Coast
    • Japan Japan
    • Malaysia Malaysia
    • Namibia Namibia
    • Netherlands The Netherlands
    • New Zealand New Zealand
    • Portugal Portugal
    • Romania Romania
    • Scotland Scotland
    • Singapore Singapore
    • South Africa South Africa
    • Spain Spain
    • Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
    • Thailand Thailand
    • Tonga Tonga
    • United States of America USA
    • Wales Wales
    • WS Western Samoa
    • Zimbabwe Zimbabwe

    In addition to this, six bonus teams also exist in the game as easter eggs:

    • The Barbarians
    • British Lions
    • World XV
    • Codemasters
    • Rage All-Stars
    • Team Lomu

    Team Lomu is a side made up entirely of clones of Jonah Lomu.
