Product information
Gilbert are proud to have been chosen as the official ball supplier for Rugby World Cup 2023. The beautiful innovative RWC 2023 ball design showcases the very best of the official tournament look and feel. The mobius graphics represent connection and daring tradition, and on the ball we have included all 10 host city mobius graphics. We have ensured a solid colour is included on either end of the ball, ensuring players have a key point of colour reference when rotating the ball. The design has the official colours by tournament organisers, France 2023, with the official event mark and official tournament hashtag #RWC2023 included on 2 panels. As the finishing touch, we have also included the iconic RWC Webb Ellis trophy icon on either end of the ball. The RWC Replica Balls have a grippy rubber compound surface essential for practising your skills at home. They are also fitted with a synthetic latex bladder for excellent air retention and the 3 Ply backing material ensures that they maintain their shape well. The perfect memorabilia to remember one of the biggest years for world rugby.
