Tackle -
A tackle is when the player in possession of the ball is taken to the
ground by one or more players or when the ball touches the ground. A
tackled player must immediately pass or free the ball and stand up.
You can tackle the player with the ball by pressing [X] and attempting
to grab him by the belt or doing a dive tackle.
If you press [X] when your player is very close to the player in
possession of the ball, you try to grab him by the belt. This results in
a maul, unless the player is heavier than the tackler. In this case, the
player in possession of the ball would be able to escape the tackle.
If you press [X] when your player is close to the player in possession
of the ball, you will do a dive tackle. The player will then fall onto
the ground, resulting in a ruck.
You can also forcefully tackle the player with the ball by pressing
[Circle] and holding it down until it is achieved. At any time, you may
let go of the button , to cancel the forceful tackle.
Block -
When a player is in possession of the ball, he may attempt to push an
opposing defender away with his arm. Press [Black] to Block. Good timing
is needed to successfully complete this move.
Outflanking Guidelines -
If you have the ball, you may avoid tacklers while running by
alternating rapidly between the left and the right trigger.
Touch and alignment -
A touch is played when one of the two teams kicks the ball out one of
the sides of the playing field. The two teams then form parallel lines.
The alignment line is perpendicular to the touch line and goes through
the spot where the ball will be thrown.
The team which benefits from the touch will have to put the ball back
into play by choosing one of the three marks ([Triangle]), [Circle] and
[X]) corresponding to the position of the three proposed players.
The opponent will then also select one of the three marks ([Triangle],
[Circle] and [X]) in order to try to steal the ball.
The player who begins the touch must press and hold [X]. A yellow arrow
will move between the two teams and the player will have to release the
button to throw the ball to the player he selected.
If the timing is right, the player will veer the ball towards his scrum
half and will acquire the ball.
Note that the player may decide to catch the ball instead of veering it.
In order to do this, press and hold [Black] at the time the receiver is
chosen.
Beyond your 22 game metres, when you kick the ball, it must first touch
the playing field before going out on a touch, otherwise, the touch will
be played as a kick.
Beyond your 22 metres, you may kick the ball directly on a touch, the
touch will always be played at the spot where the ball went out.
Converting a try -
After scoring on a try, you may attempt to kick the conversion.
To score two extra points, you must kick the ball from the ground and
over the bar between the opposing team's posts.

Each conversion has 4 parts:
The first part involves choosing from where the kicker (the player in
charge of kicking the ball) will take the kick. You can move the kicker
with the left analogue stick forward or backward to the spot from which
you would like to take the kick. Press [X] to confirm the position.
The second part requires choosing, with the help of an indicator (the
green zone in the directional cone), the best trajectory for the ball.
Again, use the left analogue stick.
The third stage is when you choose the power of the kick, between 0% and
100%, by holding down [X] and letting it go at the desired power level.
Note that the more powerful the kick, the more difficult it is to aim in
the next step.
The fourth and final step defines the precision of the ball's
trajectory. A white indicator moves from left to right at a certain
speed. Press [X] when the indicator reaches the centre of the bar (in
green) to give the ball the best possible trajectory.
