Gilbert

Gilbert continues to lead the way in ball technology and design, and to maintain the high standards set by James Gilbert over 180 years ago. The new Synergie ball delivers the best performance ever from a rugby ball and was used successfully throughout the 2007 World Cup. The Gilbert ball is now used by 6 of the IRB’s top 8 ranked teams and is the ball of choice of the Guinness Premiership, Magners League, Super 14, Top 14, Championship Rugby and the majority of elite teams worldwide. The Gilbert Synergie ball was also used throughout every match of the British & Irish Lions' recent tour to South Africa. Not content to rest on its laurels, Gilbert have recently branched into Team wear and currently sponsor a number teams globally, including the Super 14 Champions The Blue Bulls, The Cheetahs, The Lions and Nottingham Rugby, as well as some of the games fastest emerging nations.
