A document listing theage grade variations round the world might be an interesting thing to build on the wiki.
Sydney Juniors are here (for up to and including U12, after that they follow ARU U19): http://www.snrr.org.au/laws-of-the-game
ARU U19 are here: http://www.rugbyaustralia.com.au/Portals/22/2017 Laws/U19 Laws ARU 2017.pdf
It would be interesting to know if referees in Australia and New Zealand penalise this dangerous technique/ practice or whether it is allowed?
I seem to remember that it was outlawed several years ago in Oz but has crept back in. I'm not aware that it is defined as being illegal in any of our documents.
Here's a bit of interesting history:

“Unions are requested to adopt Domestic Variations, which makes the action known as the squeeze ball, illegal for all age levels from under 18 downwards.” (Memo from IRB Interpretation, November 8, 2001).

It seems odd that the IRB would issue this statement but then not include it in the global laws:

Under 18 Variations are delegated to unions aren't they, so under current arrangements WR cannot direct what is in them, only request
Presumable because there is no U18 section in the law book to place it in?
That could easily be changed.
