oval ball
Prolate spheroid toy
Oval ball refers to the distinctive elongated, pointed-end ball used in rugby and related football codes, as opposed to the spherical ball of soccer.
In British and Australian usage, it often serves as shorthand for rugby itself: He played oval ball at university.
The shape allows for carrying and spiral passing rather than kicking alone.
