The 2007 PC rugby game, recompiled to run in the browser, with online play for up to four people.

Open mitchivin.github.io/rugby08 in Chrome or Edge on a desktop computer and press Play.

The game downloads about 168 MB on first start. Nothing is installed and no account is needed.

Every game in the party runs the same simulation in lockstep and the games compare their state as they go, so everyone sees the same match. Players connect to each other directly where they can and through a relay where they can't. If the connection drops, your game carries on offline.
