You may think this is the most practical of the rugby ball backpack colours, but read on.

First, take our word that this is a fine, quality product. The ball shape is maintained by moulded EVA foam so holds its shape, the interior has pockets for phone, pens and valuables, and the back of the backpack is generously padded, with two comfortable and adjustable shoulder straps and a strong top carrying handle. We particularly like the chunky, strong white zip.

Capacity-wise, it'll take money, water, snacks for a day out, or work as a boot bag for practice.

The most practical colour, then? We'll simply point out that all of these bags are wipe-clean. Mud? Pah!
