Quantum Ball to be used during the 2022 Rugby Sevens World Cup
World Rugby has today announced the technically advanced ‘Quantum Sevens’ ball first used at the Olympic Games in Tokyo will be handled again by the world’s best players at Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 in Cape Town from 9-11 September.
The three-day event will see the eyes of the rugby world turned on South Africa as 40 teams battle for the title of men’s and women’s world champions with organisers expecting a packed stadium with more teams, more action and more at stake than ever seen before at a Cape Town rugby sevens event.
The tailor-made Quantum Sevens ball produced by Gilbert has features specifically designed for rugby sevens and is the most technically advanced sevens rugby ball ever produced.
It has been developed to adapt to the unique style of the sevens game with the Multi Matrix grip offering higher, more defined pimples, increasing the ball’s surface area and enhancing the exciting offload skills showcased by sevens players and much loved by fans around the globe.
Inside the ball, Gilbert have included their highly successful copolymer ‘Air-loc’ bladder which optimises air retention, ensuring the ball remains inflated for the maximum amount of time and their patented ellipse TruflightTM valve, to optimise ball rotation.
The look and feel of the ball design has been inspired by elements of the iconic Table Mountain as part of a youthful, fun and festive brand reflecting the bold, energetic and fearless nature of rugby sevens
