I don't think that "15% easier" is an accurate characterisation. If you throw the ball the same it will go ~6% further. But since a good pass in Rugby is
much shorter than the distance one can easily throw a Rugby ball that doesn't really help much. A cross-wind makes passes faster or slower, which does matter. The Coriolis effect only makes them come in a little low or high: that requires practice to adjust for, but equally to east or west.
