The Gilbert brand is inseparable from rugby as the brand was born with rugby! Indeed, it is William Gilbert (1799-1877), who gives his name to a famous brand of rugby union equipment, who is said to be the inventor of the rugby ball. When William Webb Ellis took the ball in his hand in 1823 and, according to legend, created rugby, it was probably a William Gilbert ball that he took. The ball is made of fresh pigs' bladders covered with a leather envelope made of four ovoid panels. Today, as a manufacturer of all rugby equipment, it is the rugby ball that made and still makes the English brand famous. The Gilbert ball is still universally known and its competitors (Adidas, Be Rugbe, Summit and even Canterbury) are struggling to exist. Gilbert equips the biggest nations in rugby (France, South Africa, England...) and the vast majority of clubs and the Gilbert ball has been the official ball of the Rugby World Cup since 1995. Gilbert is also the official equipment supplier of major teams such as Newport Gwent Dragons, the Bulls and the Lions in Super 15.
