Zoe Harrison Slams Smaller Ball Trial as 'Worst Decision Ever'

Red Roses fly half Zoe Harrison has criticized World Rugby's trial of a smaller ball for women's rugby, branding it the "worst decision ever."

England's World Cup-winning fly half has strongly opposed the introduction of a size 4.5 ball for the WXV Global Series. Harrison argues the ball is too small to wrap her foot around, stating, "I've not kicked any less than a size five since I was the age of 14."

The trial, which will feature the Gilbert ball in September, aims to address kicking concerns but faces significant pushback from the star player ahead of the tournament. mchezo.co.za
