Montauban Rugby Ball Gilbert Replica Size 5
This Gilbert Replica size 5 rugby ball is aimed at US Montauban supporters and amateur players looking for a reliable training ball. Made of rubber, it offers good resistance to impacts and rough surfaces, suited to regular outdoor sessions. The green and black colours reflect the club's visual identity, allowing fans to show their attachment during training or informal gatherings. Size 5 corresponds to the adult and teenage standard (from around 14 years old), ensuring a weight and volume consistent with playing habits.
The rubber construction guarantees decent longevity against friction on dry or synthetic ground, although this material falls short of leather or premium composites in terms of ball feel. This rugby ball is therefore suited above all to training, recreational use or collecting by fans of the Montauban club, without claims of official competition performance.
Is the ball suitable for official matches?
No, this rubber replica is designed for training and recreational use, not for certified competition.
What is the recommended inflation pressure?
Between 0.67 and 0.70 bar (9.5-10 psi), as for any standard size 5 ball. Check the pressure regularly before use.
Does rubber resist abrasive surfaces?
Yes, rubber handles hard surfaces better than leather, but it remains sensitive to sharp stones and gravel.
Technical specifications
Care tipsClean the ball with warm soapy water after use on muddy ground, rinse and air dry. Never expose it to prolonged direct sunlight or store it near a heat source, as rubber may harden or crack. Check the pressure before each session and let out a little air for long-term storage in order to preserve the inner bladder. DesignRubber offers greater mechanical resistance than basic synthetic materials, which explains its frequent use for training balls and club replicas. The slightly grainy texture improves grip in dry weather but slips more than leather in wet conditions. The one-piece construction without stitched panels reduces the risk of seam tears, at the cost of a less precise feel than a high-end match ball. The screen-printed colours reproduce the official design of US Montauban, reinforcing the supporter appeal of the product. Club: US MontaubanUnion Sportive Montalbanaise, founded in 1908, plays in Pro D2 and embodies the rugby tradition of Tarn-et-Garonne. Green and black have characterised the club's visual identity since its origins, colours found on this replica ball intended for supporters and the club's youth sections. Brand: GilbertFounded in 1823, Gilbert remains the historic supplier of the official Rugby World Cup ball. The Replica range allows the English manufacturer to offer club-coloured balls at an accessible price, in rubber rather than composite, targeting amateur training and supporter loyalty. |
