The A-XV features a Hydratec barrier, a technical fabric that utilizes a water resistant lamination to protect the ball from the elements by repelling dirt and water.

Review: Best practice ball. Recommended. - I Chat GPT’d the best rugby balls for my daughter to practice with. The most recommended was this one. It was the same price on desertcart, or less, so I bought it here. I was slightly concerned with the reviews that said the ball leaked air, but we’re not having any issues like that. I pumped it up slowly and added air throughout the day until we hit the recommended pressure. It dropped a bit over the next few days as the ball stretched, but then it stopped. Over the next three weeks it hasn’t lost noticeable pressure and is good to go. Overall, it’s the exact ball that I wanted, at the lowest price I could find, with prime overnight delivery and the 30 day return policy. Perfect! Recommended.
Review: Best Ball! - I’ve been using this Gilbert rugby ball for a few weeks now, and it’s made such a difference in my training. The grip is solid without being too sticky, which is perfect for ball handling drills, passing, and kicking practice. It holds air really well and hasn’t warped at all—even after using it outdoors in all kinds of weather. The size is perfect for game days and practices. There is no leakage! What I love most is how reliable it feels. I don’t have to second-guess how it’s going to fly or bounce during drills, which helps me focus on improving my technique. It’s also super durable—I’ve taken it through full scrimmages, wet grass, and a lot of solo workouts, and it still looks and feels brand new. If you're serious about getting better and want a ball that can keep up with your practices, this is 100% worth it. Highly recommend for players at any level!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come deflated?**
A: Yes.

**Q: I bought this and it is very bumpy at the seams.  Can someone tell me why or how to fix it?**
A: Sound like a Defect.  If it is just surface bumpy sand paper.  Mine doesn't have that.  But if it is stitching your going to have to live with it or return it if you can.  Stitching will probably end up failing on not hold air

**Q: what color is this ball? The thumbnail picture and larger picture are different. I'm hoping it's black like in the larger photo**
A: White, with green and black stripes

**Q: How do I inflate the ball ?**
A: Ball Care:
• Inflate to 9.5 psi using a hand pump
• Prior to training or match, use a soft cloth, light detergent and warm water to remove dirt and residue from your rugby ball. This ensures that the grip remains in prime condition for maximum length of time.
• Store in a dry environment

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality Starter Rugby Ball
*by D***D on November 17, 2025*

A high quality rugby ball for beginners. Little too bouncy, which may cause your friend to kick it onto the roof of a nearby business, thus ending potential lifetime of rugby fun.
