Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right rugby ball for me?

Selecting the appropriate rugby ball size is essential, and it's typically determined by your age and playing experience:

Size 5:


This is the standard adult-sized rugby ball, measuring 285mm in length with a girth of 585mm. It's suitable for players aged 15 and older and is used in most senior-level matches.

Size 4:


Measuring 275mm in length and having a girth of 545mm, the Size 4 rugby ball is recommended for players aged 10 to 14, including junior and youth levels.

Size 3:


With a length of 255mm and a girth of 535mm, the Size 3 rugby ball is designed for younger players aged 6 to 9, making it an ideal choice for beginners and junior rugby.

Midi:


The Midi rugby ball, measuring 215mm in length with a girth of 420mm, is suitable for various junior and youth levels, offering a transitional size for players progressing from smaller to standard rugby balls.

Mini:


The Mini rugby ball, measuring 160mm in length and with a girth of 315mm, is intended for the youngest players and is perfect for introducing them to the basics of the game.

What is a replica rugby ball?

A replica rugby ball is a ball designed to mirror the look, size, and feel of the official balls used in professional matches. While they replicate the design and branding of match balls, they are built for recreational use, practice, or as collectible items for fans.

These balls are produced with materials and construction that prioritise affordability and accessibility, making them perfect for casual play or as memorabilia. However, unlike official match balls, replica balls may not meet the performance or durability standards required for competitive play, and they are not intended for use in professional games.

What is the difference between a match ball and a training ball in rugby?

Match balls are tailor made for official games and adhere to strict professional standards. Featuring a higher natural rubber content, they deliver exceptional grip and precision—perfect for those clutch moments on the field. With their premium construction, match balls offer the performance edge needed for high-stakes play, eliminating the need for additional grip aids like gloves.

Training balls, in contrast, are built for endurance and affordability. Made with more synthetic rubber, they are designed to withstand the rigors of frequent practice sessions. Durable and reliable, training balls are perfect for honing skills without worrying about wear and tear.
