Been involved in women's and girls rugby for years. They used to use sz4 at u15 and the sz5 above that, when they changed the age grade bands it went to sz4 at u14, sz5 above to match the male game and I have seen no evidence a 14/5 yo boy who uses a sz5 is more able to use it than an adult woman. I have seen a touch ball (sz 4.5) accidentally used for a warm up and loads of dropped balls, it is about familiarity not absolute size

Shock horror ... they might even start making kit that fits the female shape, boots that fit their feet and specific protective padding for the female body. Then the girls might stop getting the injuries they get due to ill fitting kit, boots and protectove wear ...
