Ireland Sirius Match Ball

Gilbert have developed the best match ball in world rugby. Sirius, as used in Rugby World Cup 2019, is available in multiple country options. Here we introduce the Ireland Sirius Match Ball. Ireland annually take part in the Six Nations and also compete in the Rugby World Cup every four years. They are currently ranked inside the top 10 nations in the world.

The Ireland Sirius Match Ball has been designed using the traditional emerald green Irish Rugby colours, with the famous Gilbert oval trims. Taking its name after the brightest star in the sky, visible from both the Southern and Northern hemispheres, the ball represents the coming together of the best rugby players from across the globe. Sirius is also the 7th closest star from planet Earth, representing the 7^th generation of Gilbert RWC match balls.

It is undeniable that during the rugby season, players will take the pitch in cold, wet conditions. When such moments arise, you need Sirius. Sirius comprises an improved grip pattern which includes two star shaped pimples of different heights to increase grip and aid water dispersion without compromising durability and aerodynamics. These represent the fact that the Sirius Star is made up of a main sequence star, Sirius A and a faint dwarf companion, Sirius B.

Sirius also presents a copolymer ‘air-loc’ bladder to ensure the ball remains inflated for the maximum amount of time possible.
