Gilbert has agreed a sponsorship deal that will see the brand supplying the Welsh Rugby Union with a range of domestic and international balls until 2018.
“Everybody at Gilbert is delighted to be starting a new relationship with the WRU and working at every level to grow the sport in Wales,” says Richard Gray, Gilbert sales and marketing director.
“We are especially proud that the Gilbert ball has been chosen by Wales following their fantastic season and exciting Rugby World Cup campaign.
“This major new deal with Gilbert will be for the good of Welsh rugby – from grass roots to senior level – and we hope the new colour coded system will prove to be aspirational for young players.”
