## Rugby Ball Pumps and Inflation Equipment

A good [rugby ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-balls "rugby ball") pump is one of those pieces of kit that tends to get ignored until it goes missing or gives up mid-session. Most rugby balls use a standard needle valve, and a basic pump with a needle will cover most players' needs. For clubs managing a bag of balls, a double-action or electric pump - which inflates on both the push and the pull stroke - is worth having as it significantly reduces the time spent inflating before training.

Gilbert pumps are the most common choice at club level. Replacement inflation needles are worth keeping in the kit bag - they're cheap and easy to lose, and a ball that won't inflate because the needle is missing is a frustrating problem to have five minutes before a session.  
  
If you're looking for a new ball to go alongside your pump, the full rugby balls collection covers match balls, [training balls](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/training-rugby-balls "training balls"), and size options from [Gilbert](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/gilbert-rugby-balls "gilbert rugby balls") and other brands.

## Rugby Ball Bags

A decent ball bag makes a noticeable difference to how a club or school manages kit before and after training. Rather than bundling balls into a general bag or carrying them individually, a dedicated ball bag keeps everything together, protects the balls in transit, and makes counting stock quick at the start and end of a session.

Most rugby ball bags are designed to hold between 5 and 10 balls and feature a mesh or ventilated panel to allow the balls to air out after use - useful if they've been out in wet conditions. Gilbert & Rhino produce ball bags built specifically for rugby, with reinforced handles and shoulder straps for easy carrying to and from the pitch.
