• 5 out of 5 Gilbert Barbarian II Rugby Ball.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (3 Dec 2024)

  Ordered 2 balls in October just 5 days before our Invitational team's match with Oxford University at Cardiff Arms Park. Balls arrived promptly as notified. Followed instructions when inflating and balls used as match balls for our fixture. There were some good tries scored and many exciting phases of play through good handling. Our kickers also found success with both goal and line kicking.

  Very pleased with your service and quality of the product.

  Grateful thanks.

  I have been buying this ball for several years now. Always stands the tests of a season. Best price I could find was Newitts. That was even after an offer of the same ball direct from the manufacturer via Ulster Rugby at a discounted rate.
