Seems a bit daft releasing this BEFORE the bulk of this years internationals really kick off.

I guess it could be seen as a starting point and when the fixtures are being played you can see the changes and get a bit more press from it?

Guess it hasn't included the match that Denmark just played.

Personally, I'm baffled how they get the points totals they've come up with. Is it over a year or last five years of matches etc?? New Zealand and Australia play eachother more than we do (with their ANZAC test)....so we'd never get to play the same number of games. Was the Exiles match deemed a full test match by the RLIF?

Either way and however you do the maths....we clearly are the third best team in the World. So not really anything shocking there......just wondered how the RLIF work out the figures and put England on 682.19 and Australia on 800-odd more?!

Saudi Arabia? Might as well have Uranus on the unranked list too.

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

What a surprise that someone like you would disrespect the hard work being done by Danny Kazandjian and the MENA federation.

Come now Mr Cynical. Headhunter had a logo on his avatar for Saudi Arabia a few months back and that's better than any trifling matters such as playing numbers and interest.

Strange rankings system.

Surely the World champions and 4 Nations winners should be top and yet they're not. Weird !

Its probably because NZ have won two big games but only won those two games from around the last 14 or 16 games against Australia.
If you were consistently the better team you would rank number one I guess.

Agree, in most sports they would consider the holders of the major trophies to be number one.
