According to legend, the sport rugby was born in 1823 when schoolboy William Webb Ellis, with a fine disregard for the rules of football, took the ball in his arms and ran with it. The ball in question was a Gilbert, made by William Gilbert, and the name has been synonymous with rugby ever since.
For 200-years, generations of rugby players have relied on the quality and precision of Gilbert rugby balls to stay on the pitch. Now this unbroken heritage extends into an exclusive clothing collaboration with the timeless menswear brand, Rodd & Gunn.
Established in 1987 in Auckland, New Zealand, Rodd & Gunn have earned a reputation for creating clothing that is made to last and their presence is fast growing in the Northern Hemisphere. Rodd & Gunn’s commitment to sustainability means that each piece is crafted using biodegradable materials from renewable resources.
