Yes, but man that ball still looked so cool when people dropped it!
I know Paul Turner said it was awful to kick too.
Why Adidas haven't brought the design back (with modern materials, of course) is beyond me. Adidas are awful at tapping into their great rugby heritage.
[Mitre Multiplexes, too. It’s almost impossible to explain to kids what an unbelievable revelation Gilberts were; a rugby ball that wasn’t a horribly-expensive novelty soap-bar...]
