Gilbert INNOVO Match Rugby Ball

Introducing Gilbert's most advanced rugby ball ever - The INNOVO Match Ball.

This is the best match ball in world rugby, being used by all top-flight rugby competitions around the ball and was used at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. 

The INNOVO Match Ball has been in development for years, with the ball being tested at the highest levels of the game to fine tune every aspect of the ball.

As the name suggests, the INNOVO represents the next innovation of the rugby ball, with the next-gen match ball featuring a new patented duo valve allowing for the ball to have the most consistent and balanced ball flight ever.

The INNOVO also features an improved grip pattern which includes a heavily defined pimple pattern to increase grip and aid water dispersion without compromising durability and aerodynamics. So it performs in all weather conditions.

Ball Features:

• Heavily defined pimple pattern provides greater grip and control, especially in wet conditions.
• Duo valve positioned in seam assists with the balance and rotation of the ball
• Copolymer ‘Air-loc’ bladder for improved air retention and enhanced energy transfer.
• Hand-stitched for a stronger and more durable construction.
• Reaction three ply laminate construction ensures optimal shape retention.
• Pre-kicked ready for match play.
