Debate - World footy rankings 2008 - Where to place non-IC08 teams?

duffman, you raise an interesting issue, but we've already discussed it. Correct that Ireland could easily be ranked second only to Australia, but we pretty much decided that it has to be based on realistic availability and at this stage AFL-listed players and players from other codes have not shown themselves to be available. If you consider other codes then the argument could extend forever - I'm sure the US could train up some NFL and NBA players to be pretty handy in a short space of time.

We can't say strictly amateur, as players below AFL level probably on various payments have already played. We'll try to stick to International Cup type criteria and with the caveat that there be a reasonable expectation that players would be available.

The bottom line is that we discussed it in reasonable depth in Debate - World footy rankings 2008 - the Irish question
