Why World Rugby's Size 4.5 Ball Trial is Wrong And Why Women's Props Are Better Than Men's
Experts argue it creates unnecessary gender-specific rules and wrongly suggests the women's game needs changing. The focus should be on EQUITABLE RESOURCES, not ball size!

The “why not men sevens” is a great point. In sevens the players are typically smaller than in the XVs game, so why would they not also benefit from a smaller ball. Why not trial it at the same time and see what difference it makes for men and women. The answer is because it’s flawed motivation.

It's time World Rugby stops hiding behind an oversimplified narrative! 📢 We don't need a proportional fix; we need accountability for real player welfare.
I'm calling out the true absurdity of the Size 4.5 Ball Trial from the the storage shed.
