Introducing GILBERT's Elite Match Ball, the SIRIUS, the best match ball in world rugby.
This ball is used in all major professional Rugby competitions around the world that use GILBERT, including the 2019 and 2021 Rugby World Cup's, the 6 Nations, Super Rugby, the Rugby Championship, Gallagher Premiership Rugby, European Rugby, Guinness Pro 14 and the Top 14.
The Sirius Match Ball has been designed using the traditional Gilbert Rugby colours, with the famous Gilbert oval trims. Taking its name after the brightest star in the sky, visible from both the Southern and Northern hemispheres, the ball represents the coming together of the best rugby players from across the globe. Sirius is also the 7th closest star from planet Earth, representing the 7th generation of Gilbert RWC match balls.
