There is something special about rugby balls. The way they spin out of your hands as they take flight is as satisfying to do as it to watch. The oval shaped ball is iconic to the sport. A rugby ball needs to feel as good in your hands as it does to kick between the posts. It needs to be hard wearing, easy to grip even when the rain comes down, accurate and comfortable in the hand.
