Give Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge for Vita a try on June 27th

Sporting sim Rugby Challenge is coming to PS Vita next month.

New Zealand-based studio Sidhe will be bring the star-packed title to European shores as Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, complete with official team licences and commentators.

This means you'll be able to take control of the Qantas Wallabies, the USA Eagles, and the iconic All Blacks, while pro commentators Justin Marshall and Grant Nisbett pass judgement on every line-up.

Up for the cup

Some nifty touchscreen elements have been incorporated into Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, which allow you to take more direct control over conversions, for instance. You can also use the system's rear panel to sprint away from prowling flankers and jet-heeled wingers.

As well as its one-on-one multiplayer options, the game offers up a career mode, which sees you competing for glory in well-established tournaments like the ITM Cup and the Aviva Premiership.

If you fancy giving this one the old college try, Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge steps onto the Vita pitch on June 27th.
