World Footy Rankings - the inaugural list

Yes, Tonga won the Oceania youth champs. PNG were a late withdrawal.

There's talk later in the year of PNG versus an All-Stars side drawn from Queensland Gold Coast clubs - that should be pretty interesting if PNG can get something close to their best team on the field - the first chance to see the development of their AFL rookies combined with their AFLQ talent. I think PNG's best squad is actually getting close to the quality of some state leagues sides, but they still lack key position side - some improvement but they don't have 4 or 5 good quality 190cm + players as far as I know. The two tallest listed for IC2008 was 184cm for Overa Gibson and Amua Pirika, who both proved to be key players. Their tallest player in the South Pacific squad was John Ikupu at 188cm at 17 years old - perhaps he'll get into the 190s.
