Does the ball deflate quickly?

Technical specifications
DesignThe synthetic latex bladder offers a balance between air retention and softness to the touch — essential for a mini ball intended for playful rather than competitive use. The printed cover reproduces the tricolour colours and the emblematic rooster of the XV de France, giving a visual finish faithful to the official jerseys. The mini size (approximately 16 cm long) makes it portable and suitable for play in small spaces, without the risk of breaking an ornament or disturbing the neighbours. The XV de FranceThe French national rugby team, known as the XV de France, has played at the Stade de France since 1998. Losing finalists at the World Cup in 1987, 1999 and 2011, they have won multiple Grand Slams in the Six Nations Championship. Players such as Serge Blanco, Fabien Galthié (now head coach) and Antoine Dupont (current captain) have marked the history of French rugby. This mini ball celebrates that collective identity, blending heritage and popular passion for the Crunch or the great nights at the Stade de France. GilbertFounded in 1823 in Rugby (England), Gilbert has been making balls since the very invention of the game. Slogan « For the real game » — the brand supplies official balls for many international competitions, including the World Cup. This historic positioning guarantees unique expertise in designing durable bladders and covers, even in a miniature format like this one. |
