There is no specific weight for Rugby balls but rather size. The size of the ball depends on what age and grade you are playing. Although i am pretty sure in an international game or a super 14 game every ball has to be at a certain air pressure

a league ball has a preffered weight of 410g to 460 grams

a union ball 410 - 460 grams

so they are the same. Howver, both code use a ball much heavier for passing practice to improve that skill area

What is the difference between rugby league ball and rugby union ball?

Rugby league is the professional code of rugby football, and Rugby is a town in Warwickshire. with a famous public school where the game developed. The main differences between rugby league football and rugby union football is that the principal rugby league teams are professional athletes instead of amateurs (albeit rugby union has some semi-professionals). The focus is more on running with the ball and scoring tries, instead of set pieces and kicking. There is almost no kicking in rugby league. You only have 5 tackles of passing and then you must kick over to other time. In rugby union you can kick to the corners downfield and you can have as many phases as you like when controlling the ball. There is a lot more kicking in the union game. League is really just passing. In league a try is 4 point while unions try is 5
