Although the Queen had to honour everyone in the England World Cup-winning Rugby Union team, there's no doubting the whole charade was organised simply for Her Royal Ma'amness to meet the man whose feet the nation wants to kiss: Jonny Wilkinson. Well, HRH could have got closer to JW a little more discreetly – simply by winning a superb England Rugby top autographed by the man, up for grabs now on the new official Pro Rugby Manager 2004 Website, located at www.prorugbymanager.com .

Of course, that's not the only reason to visit the official Website. A new video and a host of new screenshots and assorted downloads are available immediately, along with a newly-created forum dedicated to all aspects of the game.

The game itself is released for PC CD-ROM on March 26th 2004 and enables players to take the reins of their preferred team through European and World Championships. Over 15,000 real players are included within the game. Managers can buy and sell players, train their squads and develop match tactics - with matches portrayed in real-time through a detailed 3D engine. Every bone-crunching tackle, every eye-gouging scrum is present in glorious 3D, with managers having to adjust their tactics as the games progress in order to secure victory. Multiplayer modes allow players to pit their teams against each other in individual games or leagues - with an Internet ladder ranking the world's greatest rugby managers.

"Who knows – had Clive Woodward been playing Pro Rugby Manager, the nation may not have had to suffer the nightmare of extra time," said Leo Zullo, marketing director, Digital Jesters. "The official Website will, however, provide everything a budding rugby coach or fan could need in order to improve his game – on the real and virtual pitches. As is Digital Jesters' ethos, we will building a real sense of community through our online activity and hope the site will be bustling for many months to come."

Pro Rugby Manager 2004 will be published on March 26th 2004, priced £34.99.
