Rugby Balls?

[briansee]

Does anyone know where to buy one? A friend enjoys playing and I would like to get one for a birthday gift. Also, does anyone have a clue how much they cost? Sorry, I am an ignorant American, haha. Thanks!

you can buy rugby balls from the HKFootball Club shop or Sports Institute in Shatin
Probably any of the rugby clubs too - contact the HKRFU for details (just look them up on the internet!)

not too sure on price Im afraid but shouldnt break the bank

Hope your friend enjoys the gift

if its just a practice ball then it shouldn't be too costly, but for a proper union ball i'm thinking $300-$400 tops.

i've got a couple that i "got" from opposing teams, if you want one let me know. XD

one of my mates has a pass-training ball that's weighted that cost him $850, so i doubt a regular one would be anything too expensive.

That will be two birthdays late for the original request then!

If you are a regular visitor across the border you can get half decent rugby balls (Size 5) in Decathlon (Shekou) for about RMB 70.

I've always wanted to go there. What's the best way to go there from HK?

The two best choices would be via the Western corridor crossing or by ferry to Shekou, personally I would take the Western corridor route for convenience (Not confined to a limited ferry timetable) and cost.

The shop is almost the same distance (<2 miles) from the Shekou ferry terminal as it is from the SZ Bay/Western Corridor crossing (See attached pic).

Thanks! I know where to park for Lowu crossing (Sheng Shui station). Where do you park when you cross for Shekou?

[Stoob]

Access to the bridge is restricted (HK immigration is on the SZ side of the bridge), it would be best to park near one of the stops of the scheduled bus services (B2 -Tin Shui Wai KCR WR, B3X - Tuen Mun Town Centre) or take the train to Tin Shui Wai and catch the B2.
