RUGBY COLLECTION 2015/16

THE 2015

RUGBY WORLD CUP RANGE On 18th September 2015, the eyes of "World Rugby" will be fixed upon Twickenham stadium - eagerly awaiting the whistle which signifies the start of the Rugby World Cup 2015, in England with a kick of the Gilbert MATCH-XV ball. Aside from William Webb Ellis's decision to pick up his Gilbert ball and run with it at Rugby School, in 1823, the RWC 2015, will be the biggest, most significant event in the history of the sport. As the official ball of RWC 2015, we are proud to provide a comprehensive range of product covering all participating countries with price points to suit all requirements. Demand for a memento of the occasion will be high. Quite simply it will be "Too Big to Miss".
