England Red Roses fly half Zoe Harrison has slammed the trial of a size 4.5 ball in women's rugby as the 'worst decision ever'. Harrison, a top kicker, argues the smaller surface area makes kicking difficult. She claims she has not used a size 5 ball since age 14, stating, 'There is not the same amount of surface area for you to wrap your foot around.' grenadier.co.za
