Ireland rugby international Eimear Considine with a size 5 ball

This afternoon.

Keep the shape.

Lose the girth.

Via RTÉ Sport:

Eimear Considine, who won her 26th Ireland cap against England, is in favour of coming in line with the other sports.

“I actually don’t know the reasons why we use a size 5 ball but it’s worth a discussion,” she tells RTÉ Sport.

“My hands aren’t big enough to a one-handed offload but maybe if there was a smaller ball it might allow for you to be a bit slicker in your offloads.

“Naturally, we have smaller hands, that’s just our physiology, it’s nothing to do with not being able to play with a size 5 ball.:

We’re saying nuffink.

Considines agree rugby needs to grasp smaller ball (RTE)
