This photo of the tallest player in the Women's Rugby World Cup standing next to the shortest player is delightful
THIS IS CHLOE Mak Ho Yee.
The 22-year-old is a scrum-half with Hong Kong’s women’s rugby team. She also happens to stand at a diminutive 4’9.

And this is Marie Louise “Maz” Reilly.
The 37-year-old plays in the second-row for Ireland and stands at 6’4.

Reilly reportedly holds the distinction of being the tallest player in the Women’s Rugby World Cup, while Chloe Mak Ho Yee is the shortest.
The two came face to face at the tournament launch earlier this week and posed for a rather delightful photo together.
Hong Kong Rugby shared the photo on Instagram and wrote, “Record breakers already! Our teammate Chloe Mak Ho Yee is the tournament’s shortest player. Next to the tallest,” along with the hashtags “#easytotackle” and “#cutebutdeadly”.
Hong Kong’s players have been kept busy posing for photos with members of different squads this week. Former Black Ferns player Anna Richards shared a lovely photo earlier this week of Hong Kong’s Chong Ka Yan standing next to New Zealand’s Aoteroa Mata’u.
If ever there was proof that women’s rugby was an inclusive sport, eh?
