Answer 2

Gilbert

Answer 3

Ya its gotta be Gilbert

Answer 4

aye i guess gilby have the upper hand because they've been on the rugby scene for longer but those new adidas ones are just tasty! they're works of art, those torpedo ones.

dunlop has produced arguably the most supremely crapsicle ball i have ever seen. stupid thing cant be held, let alone passed, no grip, funny shape, has a fair chance of exploding when kicked and...yeah its bad.

Answer 5

Different people will probably prefer different balls...  For example, my grandfather always swore that the balls we play with today were "for girls"...  not like the leather, water sodden bricks they used in his day.

Gilbert is the official supplier of balls for the world cup, and by that selection some would say that makes them the best balls.  But I know players in NZ who prefer the new Adidas ball.

My personal favorite would be a good quality Gilbert.

Answer 6

Ooohh, I don't know....I've used a good deal of Gilberts but I've also used an Adidas or two that were awesome. Gilberts are just as good.
