But 25m, bloody oath. And to hit up a target over that distance more often than not....
Suggesting a 18yo girl is physically weaker than a 12yo boy (in general) is pure balderdash.
Suggesting executing a decent drop punt is more about strength than anything else is equally problematic - try ball drop, timing and technique.....
And sure, I don't want the girls to start shirt fronting or doing Dusty's 'don't argue' but I do expect them to be able to execute a reasonable handball to a team mate over 2-3 metres.....
Anyway, enjoy it folks. Each to their own....
Physiology isn't your strong point. In the end i'm sure some girls have a good ball drop and timing but if you don't have the physical strength to get the distance it's not going that far, and that's the biggest difference in this case. Those with better timing and ball drops will kick it further of course but they won't be kicking it like men or even bigger young boys. Welcome to the world of differences between men and women.
Some of those 12yo can be fair size boys. Some could well be stronger than an 18yo female depending on what stage of physical development they are at. there's won't be of course.
