Official RLEF Seeding 2007:
Successful qualification for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup has seen both Ireland and Scotland move up the European Rugby League rankings.

The Celtic nations are now seeded three and four respectively, behind RLWC 08 seeds England and France, taking the place of Wales and Lebanon who miss out on a trip to Australia in the autumn.

The European seedings list is reviewed on an annual basis and based on both international results, which includes the successful completion of home and away representative fixtures, and levels of domestic activity.

Serbia and the Czech Republic have improved their positions, while Latvia have moved up from official observer status to be ranked fourteenth.

Commenting on the new listing, RLEF Chairman Richard Lewis said, "The European Rugby League rankings are an important tool as we work to maintain the development of the sport throughout Europe. They provide a clear framework that nations can use to assist their growth. 

"The rankings also reflect the spread of the sport across the continent and the federation will continue to work in partnership with all nations to sustain this and make further progress."
