Europeans give the Aussies an early scare

Any reason that the Warriors v Bulldogs match isn't eligible to be included in the World Rankings? (eg. less than 16-a-side, too many Aussies playing or conversely not enough nationals in each team?)????

Hi Cam,

I'm pretty sure it IS eligible. AFAIK it was full-field, no Aussies.

Did someone say otherwise?

Cheers, Aaron

G'day Aaron,

No, nothing has been said one way or the other(that I have noted anyway). I haven't been on net every day lately, so was just wondering. If you think the match is eligible I will do the calculations, since it was a GB home game win it will bring about some movement up the ranks for GB. Ireland will lose some points but will still rank 2nd behind Australia.

Just hope the proposed matches between Croatia and Italy & Croatia v Austria go ahead as full size matches, it would see 2 new nations enter the provision ranks. And if France v Germany match is eligible also, France would become fully ranked.

Any word on which nations have put their hands up to contest the 2nd European Champs in Ireland in August?

Best of to ya.

Cam

Yep, I reckon plug the Ireland vs GB result in.

Regards the others, I'm pretty sure France vs Germany will be 16-a-side, and thus qualify.

There will be another Germany vs Czech, but that will be 9-a-side AFAIK.

With Croatia vs Austria and Croatia vs Italy - not sure if they will be full field matches, neither Austria nor Italy has played more than 9 a side so far.

Haven't seen a list of attendees for the Euro Champs in Dublin yet - need to chase that up with Ciaran.
