There were a lot of reviews on this not inflating...I was scared but look at the bloody thing...so cool NZ! When I opened it ... IT CAME WITH A COOL PUMP AS WELL! Super Plus!!!! ... I put it in and started pumping, air was just flowing out the side of the hole and I panicked thinking the rubber seal was pushed in a busted!BUT, two reasons...the needle wasn't screwed in the pump that tight, make sure its screwed in well the rubber ring it came with. AND, most importantly (and I think this is the main issue) the ball comes folded...it's really hard to put the needle far enough in to actually clear the seal (which seems pretty sturdy once you get through it) because the folds prevent it from going in far enough. So you really have to finagle it to go in.It has a few weird dimples but was super fun to play with! I know a few people would be like "Bruh, why would you play with it, its to display?" and I'm like, "Get get off your phone and get your ass outside and play with people before you die in this life, bruh!" Well... that's about it, enjoy!

The ball arrived on time and was in perfect condition. I know several people stated that it wouldn’t stay inflated but 2 days later and the ball I got is still inflated with no loss of air. I loved the design and it’s a very good quality ball.Only thing that I didn’t like was that the needle that came with the FREE pump easily broke. Other than that no other complaints. I would definitely buy another ball from this seller.

The first ball I inflated and within 5 minutes the air audibly leaked out and was flat in 30 seconds. Amazon refunded my money and sent a new ball free. That ball I couldn't even inflate. The air came out as I pumped it in. It doesn't even make a decent display piece much less something you can play with. Also the hand air pump is absolutely horrible and the needle was loose before I even used it. They both broke.

We didn't buy it for matches. My middle school son plays rugby, and had been trying to recruit for the upcoming season by bringing a bland training ball to school to play with after lunch with a couple of friends. While checking out Amazon, we noticed this ball and he liked it and started bringing it to school, and it was a good conversation starter. It went from a couple of kids throwing it around to 10-15 kid playing touch and showing some interest. We'll see if any of them show up once the season starts next month, but so far it has held up to near daily use for a month (albeit, all on grass and only touch) and has attracted attention.

The Rugby Ball is a Beauty and tough, durable as expected....the pump included was JUNK. So near the end of inflation the pump broke needle was stuck inside hole of inflated ball flush. Had to deflate ball to get back and used a NIKE soccer pump. We have atleast 10 soccer balls at home so we are not strangers to how to inflate sports balls, footballs, basketballs... the PUMP IS CRAP.

The ball is nice; regular size and the design is perfect. For the price, this is a good quality ball for you, or a gift to friend.

This was easy to blow up but the included needle broke and we had to use a different one to finish.

This ball is good, very cool design and comes with a pump and needle, which was a delightful find for me. When I pumped the ball up it held it's shape well and had a good weight to it. It did have a small hole that caused a small leak where it narrowed to a point on one side. It seemed like the stitching of the outside material wasn't totally securely fashioned. It leaked a little faster when pressure was applied to the ball. Didn't seem too major, but I also don't play so I don't really know. Otherwise really nice, made a great present.
