Just got my first rugby ball and I don’t know how hard it should be when fully pumped. Should I be able to squeeze it a little? or should it be rock hard?
If the ball is at the correct pressure you should not be able to push in the surface at all. If it has too little pressure you will be able to do this. If it has too much pressure the ball will start to go out of shape and eventually burst. When you refer to the ball being rock hard, this is probably the correct pressure providing you have not put too much air in and it has gone out of shape.

Why not round?
But why the oval shape?
In the early days, rugby balls were made using inflated pigs’ bladders and so took on a similar shape. Really, they were more of a plum shape to begin with. Much larger and rounder than they are today.
Some people believe the more elongated shape developed because it was more suited to a game like rugby that involved running with the ball as well as kicking it.

What have been some of the changes to rugby union in the last 20 years?
Such as rules, equipment, clothing, tactics, trainings and sport science related changes
1. Professionalism in 1996. For about ten years rugby’s administrators were totally reluctant to allow the game to go professional, had they not done so the game would be dead. Nowadays money runs eveything in the game and their is a market for full-time professional players.
2. South Africa’s 1995 world cup victory. One of the most significant moments in modern sports as Nelson Madela used the national rugby team to reinstill pride and patriotism back into the nation, capped off with an upset extra time victory in the final and the moment after the game when the white and coloured players bound together in prayer
3. Expansion of northern/southern hemisphere provincial competitions. The international calendar hasn’t really changed but the Guiness premiership and the other northern leagues have become very global while the super 14 continues to grow and develop a culture distinct from the north
4. ELV’s. Even though many of them are being eradicated thanks to England, it still addressed many of the issues brought to light by no.5 and gave us a look at how good and in some cases how bad the game can be
5. Clive Woodward’s England. For better or worse changed the way the game is played by playing the percentages, focussing on ball retention, set piece strength and taking 3 points whenever it was on offer.
6. Rod Macqueen’s Wallabies. Precursor to Woodward, first team to conduct itself in a strictly professional manner as Macqueen ran the team like a business.
7. Jonah Lomu – First global superstar of rugby, has to be included, put the game on the map
