rugby balls
Pointed inflated spheroids
Rugby balls are the elongated, oval-shaped balls used in rugby football.
Their distinctive pointed ends and prolate spheroid shape—wider at the center, tapering toward the tips—distinguish them from the rounder balls used in other sports.
The shape facilitates carrying under the arm and produces unpredictable bounces, adding to the game's character.
Originally made of pig bladders encased in leather, modern rugby balls use synthetic materials.
