Whilst the dimensions of a size 5 can vary, the ball used in elite competition is the same.
From the BBC
"Should women play with a different-sized ball?
Women's rugby is played on the same-sized pitch, with the same laws and same size five ball as men's rugby."
The Gilbert ALLIANZ PREMIER 15S REPLICA BALL used in the women's pro league is the same size as the GILBERT SIRIUS MATCH RUGBY BALL used in the six nations.
