World Ranking : 2011 / 2013 / 2014

Here are three years of international ranking with 2012 missing. They are colour coded for the Pacific, Europe, Americas and Africa/Middle East. No points system is perfect but if viewed as as a guide, then it has some merit. The system is run by the RLIF.

For 2014, I have included an up change of rank column compared to 2013. The number of recognised playing nations went from 27 to 34.
