    I think Australia needs to adopt New Zealand's way of playing rugby which is by weight. It also helps mould the player in over coming their fear of playing older age groups as they are exposed to players more their height and weight even if they are a year or two younger. I truly believe this is why NZ has been so dominant in rugby over the years because the talent pool of players are highly skilled and well on the way to peaking during and after highschool.

      12 playing with an 11 year old is normal but if you’re 13+ with 5 inches and 40lbs over everyone then yea man that’s clearly cheating.

      But is he really the age being claimed? This has been a problem lately, refugees claiming to be younger then they actually are, I'm not making it up, there's been hundreds of cases all across the nation. Paperwork can take a long time to actually process or getting paperwork can be almost impossible in some cases. Not even 3 weeks ago 3 blokes were exposed as being 19 and playing with the 13-14 ago league, they were using fake paperwork, they had already played 1/3 of the season and when questions started getting raised activists took up the cause, then their true identities came about and suddenly it all went away and got swept under the rug. I'm not saying that's the case here, if the kid is really 11 then obviously it's wrong and horrible but you have to have all the facts before judging something.

      It seems like a safety issue with the kid being under 18 and being bigger and stronger then his teams that legally he can't play if a kid gets injured then the club and the firm incontrol would legally be accountable for other kids deaths or injuries..
      The kid will just have to find another team which I highly doubt, play privately at home with friends, or wait until he's 18 and legally allowed to play with others.. 😃 hope that helped

One the smaller kids learn nothing just that size matters which is already a known thing that's why they have age groups and weight classes in combat sports. The bigger kid learns nothing and is never challenged meaning he's wasting his time. Your view of equality = same size is wrong. If that were the case then any boxer that weighs 147lbs should be able to beat Floyd Mayweather but that's not how it works. There are skill gaps size isn't skill it's just size.

      I'd say let him play with a age group one year older than him, it's better and safer for the other kids and he will have a bit of a tougher time which will lead to h8m actually becoming a good rugby player and not just relying on his growth spurt to help h8m hurt other kids.

It teaches you new tackling techniques and how to deal with a bigger fellas when you on your own on the wing. i play Aussie rules now and all those years playing rugby agents big dude made me dominate in footy, played state for 3 years straight and starting plumbing. boys will be boys.
