French Barbarians Replica Ball / Gilbert

The Barbarian Rugby Club, more commonly known as the French Barbarians, is a rugby union team that was formed in 1979 and based in France. It was founded as an amateur invitational team modeled on the famous Barbarian F.C.

From the start of the 2017–18 season, the French Barbarians became the official second national team of the French Rugby Federation, which had previously designated either the France U20 side or France A as that team.

The French Barbarians play in sky, navy and royal blue hooped jerseys. As with the original Barbarians, players retain the socks from their "home" club strip.

Jean-Claude Skrela founded the club after he had played for, and adored, the original Barbarians in the later days of his career. Through the amateur era, all players chosen for the side were either French or played for French clubs.

Gilbert have produced the French Barbarians Replica Ball, designed with the same look as their official match balls using the sky and navy club colours.

Available in size 5 or mini, the French Barbarians replica Ball is perfect for adults and juniors practising their expert skills at home. A perfect gift.
