FAQs
What size is the Rhino Rugby Ball Comet UTCS2325_2?
This ball is an intermediate size, often referred to as a Size 5, specifically designed for youngsters and women transitioning from a Size 4 ball.
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
While used by international teams for training and development, it's primarily marketed as an intermediate match ball ideal for skill development and confidence building. Its unique grip and size make it excellent for training and club level play.
How do I inflate the ball?
Use a standard ball pump with a suitable needle. Insert the needle gently into the in-seam valve and inflate to the recommended pressure. Avoid over-inflating; the ball should feel firm but have a slight give when squeezed.
What is the benefit of the 'Star grip'?
The unique Star grip is designed to enhance handling and control, providing players with better tactile feedback for more secure catches and accurate passes.
Can I use this ball in wet weather?
The ball performs well in various conditions, but like all rugby balls, performance can be affected by extremely wet or muddy surfaces. Ensure the ball is kept as clean as possible.
What does 'pre-kicked' mean?
'Pre-kicked' means the ball has been inflated and used minimally before sale to ensure it's ready for play and has a consistent feel from the outset.
What is the construction of the ball?
The ball features a hand-stitched construction with a four-ply laminated construction of rugby ball rubber and an in-seam valve for optimal aerodynamics and performance.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Check the in-seam valve for any damage or debris. Ensure the valve cap is securely fitted. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Grip feels slippery when wet
While the grip is designed for performance, extreme wet conditions can affect any ball. Ensure the ball is clean and dry as much as possible. Some players may find a light application of grip enhancer (check product suitability) can help, but care must be taken not to damage the ball.
Ball shape seems compromised
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. Avoid over-inflation. If the ball has been stored incorrectly or subjected to excessive force, it may take time to regain its shape. If deformation is permanent, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rhino Comet Match Ball comes pre-kicked and ready for immediate use. Ensure the ball is inflated to the recommended pressure before play. Typically, rugby balls should be inflated until firm but not overly hard, allowing for a comfortable grip.
Compatibility: This ball is designed for use on grass pitches. It is suitable for training and matches across various levels, particularly for players developing their game.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and lifespan:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the grip material.
- Drying: Allow the ball to air dry naturally. Do not expose it to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the material.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Ensure it is not stored under heavy objects that could deform its shape. Maintain optimal inflation by checking and topping up air as needed.
