The leather must be, therefore, of the superior quality and be thoroughly stretched or the ball will go out of shape quickly. The 1905 Originals’ jerseys were made in Palmerston North which is the home of the New Zealand Rugby Museum and Massey University. The correct identification of the year and the player who wore it is becoming increasingly important. Place kicking and drop kicking were therefore very crucial features of the game in the premature days, and it is probably due to these two features that we get the oval ball, as it was found that the best results could be obtained with this shaped ball the shape being suggested in the beginning instance by the shape of a pig’s bladder.
Rugby ball and it is interesting to note that whereas Fresh Zealand has always old 4 panel balls, South Africa prefers 8 panel balls. And the panels that weighed too much were then put through a splitting machine to make the leather the correct thickness. Stephen Berg spoke of the need for collectors to think of the preservation of their collection for at minimum 100 years not impartial the years which may cover their collecting lifespan. Dave Gallagher’s grand daughter who has done much work on the family history was an active contributor many delegates offered to gather information on jersey on display in their provinces, whether they are on display in schools, clubs or museums.
A vintage illustration of the Rugby School House Balls, seasons made 100 years behind William Webb Ellis’s famous exploit shows the modern plum shaped ball as Mr Bennett calls it. It must be remembered that earlier the exploit of William Webb Ellis in 1823, football, as played at Rugby, had already a distinctive feature in that a goal was scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar of the goal posts and not simply through the goal posts as in other games of football, and the subsequent passage from Tom Brown’s Schooldays will be of interest The Story of the Rugby Ball. Our old patterns in use at the time of the formation of the Rugby Football Union in 1871 shows that the ball was still this shape though not quite so rounded at the ends. The belly part of a conceal marked D is of no use to football manufacturers as it stretches too much. A selection of online cataloging systems, such as e hive, and a list of conservators from around New Zealand was provided.
This shape has been evolved since 1875, as being the best shaped ball for handling and temporary in fresh Rugby Football. It is very important when cutting the sections roughly out of the hides that these are put into heaps accord Eng to the segment of the conceal from which they are cut, because hides are not the equivalent texture all over like a segment of cloth. There is no record as to when the Rugby ball beginning began to assume its oval shape probably some years prior 1823. Match programmed then become imperative especially when players wore tour numbers
