Perhaps gloves to play.
But most of all, you’ll need to keep your eye on that ball.
Construction
The ball you toss around in practice should be heavier and tougher than the one you use on game day. This is because Match balls are often made of a natural rubber that makes the ball lighter and faster, but which wears out quicker than the synthetic rubbers which training balls are made of.
As far as materials, most rugby balls are made of Eco balls and play easy with the knowledge that your ball is certified Eco and fair trade, union made and vegan.
Design
Give your ball added meaning. Literally “play for your country” with a ball emblazoned with your nation’s Guinness logo.
Off the field
If your rugby heart weeps every time you leave the field, you can still keep the ball with you in other forms. Besides toting around your match ball in a convenient ruby ball rugby ball pendants she can wear close to her heart.
