## Description

From the manufacturer About Us William Gilbert (1799-1877) was the boot and shoe maker to Rugby School. He operated from a small shop in the town which was later acquired by Grays as a sports shop. By 1823, Gilbert already supplying balls to Rugby School when William Webb Ellis first picked up and ran with the ball and the game of Rugby Football began. The original rugby balls were more plum shaped, however become more oval due to the use of a pigs bladder. Today, the majority of Gilbert rugby balls are made using synthetic bladders, however we still offer a range of heritage and vintage leather balls as a nod back to our origins.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the ball come inflated or totally flat?**
A: Hi it comes flat

Thanks

Steve

**Q: Does it come with a needle adaptor?**
A: No

**Q: What is the right size rugby ball for a 14-year old**
A: Size 5 👍

**Q: Whats the difference between this and a match ball?**
A: Hopefully a match ball will have air in it, the one I bought couldn’t be inflated(returned to Amazon and bought directly from Gilbert). In the event of a good ball there is no difference as long as you have the right size. The grip and dimensions are perfect as with all Gilbert balls
