England Fly-Half Harrison Slams Decision to Use Smaller Balls for Women's Rugby
Zoe Harrison has labelled the introduction of smaller balls for this autumn's WXV Global Series as the worst decision made, expressing strong concerns about the change.

England fly-half Zoe Harrison has heavily criticised the decision to introduce smaller balls for this autumn's WXV Global Series, calling it "the worst decision someone has ever made."

Watch the highlights:

The change has drawn significant backlash from players and coaches involved in women's rugby. Harrison, one of England's key playmakers, voiced her frustration over the implementation of the new ball specifications.

World Rugby announced the switch to smaller balls for the WXV competition, a decision that has been met with widespread criticism from within the women's game. Players argue the change could affect handling skills and overall game quality.

The WXV Global Series serves as a key tournament in the women's rugby calendar, and the ball change remains a controversial topic ahead of the competition. Harrison's comments reflect broader concerns about decision-making that could impact the sport's development at the elite level.
