Description
Gilbert has developed the best match ball in world rugby. Sirius, as used in the 2019 Rugby World Cup, is available in several country options. Here we present the France Sirius match ball. The France competes annually in the Six Nations and also competes in the Rugby World Cup every four years. The France Sirius match ball has been designed using the traditional blue colors of French rugby, with the famous oval borders of Gilbert. Named after the brightest star in the sky, visible from both the southern and northern hemispheres, the ball represents the gathering of the best rugby players from around the world. Sirius is also the 7th closest star to the planet Earth, representing the 7th generation of match balls Gilbert RWC.There is no denying that during the rugby season, players take the field in cold and wet conditions. When such times arise, you need Sirius. Sirius features an enhanced grip pattern that includes two star-shaped spikes of varying heights to increase grip and facilitate water dispersion without compromising durability and aerodynamics. These spikes represent the fact that the star Sirius is composed of a main sequence star, Sirius A, and a faint dwarf companion, Sirius B. Sirius also features a copolymer air-loc bladder to ensure that the balloon stays inflated as long as possible.
