Milton Keynes, UK \u2013 [01, Aug 2011] \u2013 Rugby fans should prepare for a multilingual treat: Global video game publisher, 505 Games and developer HB Studios today announced that not only English and French commentary teams, but also a team from the Southern hemisphere will grace the forthcoming Rugby World Cup 2011 Official videogame.<\/p>\n

Stuart Barnes and Miles Harrison head up the English team. Well-known for their Sky Sports rugby commentary, they have been the voice of Sky\u2019s Rugby coverage for the past two decades, covering all major Rugby matches and tournaments including previous Rugby World Cup matches. Barnes is a former English Rugby Union fly-half for Newport RFC, Bristol, Bath; and represented England and the British Lions at international level, while Harrison is the lead Rugby Union commentator for Sky Sports. <\/p>\n

Along with the HD broadcast quality gameplay \u2013 covering each pass, kick, tackle and try \u2013 Rugby World Cup 2011 will offer an unrivalled level of officialdom, capturing the game of Rugby like never before. Players wanting a bit of Gallic flair on the commentary wings can opt for the French partnership of Philippe Sella and Eric Bayle. <\/p>\n

Sella, who once held the record for most international rugby union appearances, was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 1999 and the IRB Hall of Fame in 2008. Bayle is lead Rugby Union commentator for Canal+.

\nFitzpatrick, is considered one of the finest players ever to wear an All Blacks shirt and was captain of the New Zealand international side for five years (from \u201992-\u201997). Rather appropriately, he was a prodigious product of the Auckland provincial side whose home stadium, Eden Park, will play host to the Tournament this year. Clark is FOX Sports\u2019 host of \u2018INSIDE RUGBY\u2019 and is a well respected journalist with 27 years broadcasting experience. He is considered one of the best \u2018callers\u2019 in Australian sports television.<\/p>\n

The addition of an unprecedented third commentary team adds yet another dimension of officialdom. The Rugby World Cup 2011 Official Videogame already promises to deliver every pass, kick, tackle and try to gamers fingertips – each of those will now be accompanied by the players choice of commentary from six of the most well known voices in rugby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
