There are some colossal differences in physical size in age group rugby, mind you there are still some hue differences when you look across the pro game.There does com a point when the "big" kid can no longer just run through the opposition and the argument is that the later developers should be equipped with a different skill set and
certainly the smaller players need far better tackling technique (which helps them later on)
Having said that, when you look at many of the guys that make it, they are above average size/weight and the game at the top level doesn't suit smaller people, with some obvious exceptions.
Other sports are similar, with the early developers having a massive advantage.
