Only by rubbing something rough on the surface. However, this degrades that ball for kicking. Many players now use a spray resin similar to that used on violin bows. This gives an element of coarseness to the grip without effect the ball

Is a football shaped like a rugby?

An American football is the same shape as a rugby ball. A football is slightly smaller and is more pointed whereas a rugby ball is rounder in overall shape. A football skin is rougher to make it easier to be carried and can be leather whereas a rugby ball is slightly smother for aerodynamics (kicking and passing ) of a synthetic rummer outer panelled skin and a silicone bladder which is inflated to give the ball its shape. The size, weight and construction materials of a rugby ball is very closely monitored by the NRL and IRB Boards.


What does 'fifth phase' mean in Rugby?

when a player in rugby union is tackled with the ball they try to recycle it i.e. give it to their team mates, either via a ruck (if the ball is on the ground) or via a maul (if the ball is held in the air) if the player does this successfully it is known as a phase. The 5th phase is the 5th time the ball has been recycled without the opposition getting their hands on the ball or play being stopped by the referee.
