i clicked on competitions but i can't see it ?????

have to wait till 8th -9th of jan, just put it up now as i would forget after new year

oh sorry i didn't read the post properly 

so is this comp for 5 balls rrp $220 in total, or 5 balls rrp $220 each? if the latter, they wont be replicas, theyl be the real deal. i bought a couple of replicas at rebel the other day for $40 each

That is the most expensive Ball iv ever come across. Retail $220! shivers whats inside it? Gold!

dude reckons $220 per ball,only have his word at the moment guess we will find out in january

I know a good rugby ball is about $100... So that is bloody expensive!

I went to buy one at Rebel the other day saw they were $220.. was tempted but didnt then saw the $40 ones decided to get them another time, went in a few days later all size 5 whites were sold out.

Its been engineered for the higher altitudes of South Africa, its been dubbed the most sophisticated ball of all time (covered in heaps of tiny fins to aid in swerve because the air is so thin). Apparently Auckland City were given 40 of them for their World Club Cup stint...

The replica balls are really nice though, they leave the foot sweet as but if you hit them hard enough they tend to move around in the air a bit at the height of their path, which can be bad news for keepers.

I also went into Rebel (porirua) to buy a couple more but they had sold out of all colours.

So I guess playing with these balls in high altitude (sorry sounds rude) will cause problems for keepers? as AW's games will be. Here that Mr Paston. :)

They fixed half the problem, they added the fins to the balls surface so that it retains the properties of a 'normal ball in normal conditions'. Because the air is so thin, the main worry was that the ball wouldnt swerve as much if a player wanted it to because of less air resistance, so the fins increase resistance allowing swerve. The ball will still apprently travel 5% quicker/further though.

No wonder it cost alot. Cheers for the info :)

i see tearaway have finally put the world cup replica footballs on their competition page,5 to be won so get into it and good luck

did anyone on here win one of these balls.the competition has finished and the balls have been posted out.
