Played with a basketball on may occasions, but not a rugby ball. I can just imagine hoofing a long ball up to someone, who goes to chest it, and does so right on the pointy ends :howler:

 

In my old school, which was a Rugby School, we weren't allowed to use footballs at lunchtime in the playground, so we were forced to use Tennis Balls. This was pretty difficult, but we got by, and it definitely improved my ball control.

 

Poor you.
