The Rugby Forum is a website and forum dedicated to providing the latest news and discussion for rugby football fans of all nationalities and of both codes (union and league). The Rugby Forum is known for providing factual content with knowledgeable debates and analysis on the latest rugby news and events, whilst also providing a space for fans to give their opinions on the latest rugby news from around the world.

The Rugby Forum started in 2002 as simple, basic forum focusing on the two codes of rugby football. Recently the forum started evolving and expanding to provide blogs, the latest modifications for EA Sports series of rugby games, as well as advice on training and fitness for rugby. A joint announcement from HB Studios and The Rugby Forum was made on 29 March 2010 stating that The Rugby Forum "is now the online home of the up and coming title, Rugby 2012." The Rugby Forum has exclusive news for Rugby 2012 (video game) from HB Studios, as well as question-and-answer sessions with studio heads.

On 29 March 2010, The Rugby Forum announced that they were teaming up with HB Studios, something that was announced as being an extremely proud moment. Prior to the link up, The Rugby Forum had been for 6 years the number one online venue for all rugby games talk and mods, The Rugby Forum would now become the official online home of the up-coming title, Rugby 2012.

The partnership described as including a series of exciting projects, including a developmental blog from the Rugby 2012 development team, and hopefully a series of podcasts throughout the coming months in order to give you all the fans an opportunity to put questions to the people working at HB Studios. The Rugby Forum are hoping that the community will get involved where ever they can and hopefully enjoy seeing the developments of the game.
