I think Papua is probably more "Pacific" than Asia. Perhaps Oceania (that's what it says on the actualk PNG atricle) is the best bet, so we should rename this section?

This tempate needs a lot of work. To claim some countries like Germany and Japan are "Rugby League playing nations" is boarding on ludicrous and seems to be nothing more than attempt to pass League off as an international sport. According to Rugby_league_in_Germany there are "100" players. Having lived in Japan, I can say that Rugby is a minor sport and Rugby League is unknown. Portugal_national_rugby_league_team says League is not played in Portugal, while at Rugby_league_in_Greece "Rugby league has never been played in Greece". Rugby_league_in_Italy "Today, the teams are made up mostly, if not by all, Italians living abroad or Australians of Italian ancestry". Malta has "yet to establish domestic rugby league within Malta" The list goes on and on. I would suggest that at least 50% of the Rugby League articles could be merged into an "Amateur Rugby League teams based in Australia" Oh and for Lebanon, from the wikipedia article "The full Lebanon side remains dominated by players of Lebanese ancestry from Australia" Tancred 19:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-11-25T19:46:00.000Z","author":"Tancred","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Tancred-2006-11-25T19:46:00.000Z-This_needs_a_lot_of_work","replies":["c-Tancred-2006-11-26T21:58:00.000Z-Tancred-2006-11-25T19:46:00.000Z"]}}-->

Agree with you on some points. Think that it should be renamed nations with representative international football teams instead of calling them rugby league playing nations. The Australian socceroos team of 73 was dominated by foreign players as have many Irish soccer teams. Such a category would be an attack on rugby league football. No they should not be merged as many of the activities are overseas and in those countries whether they are from immigrants from those nations or not.ir

Australia's national team of 74 did have a fair number of immigrants in it, but those people had migrated to Australia, and were playing for Australian domestic clubs. It is in no way comparable to Rugby League in Portugal where Rugby League is not played, yet Portugal is somehow listed as a "Rugby League Playing Nation"Tancred 21:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-11-26T21:58:00.000Z","author":"Tancred","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tancred-2006-11-26T21:58:00.000Z-Tancred-2006-11-25T19:46:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tancred-2006-11-26T10:39:00.000Z-Tancred-2006-11-26T21:58:00.000Z"]}}-->

And the Portugal thing is one of the things I agree with you on, rugby league football has not been played in Portugal since it was banned in the thirties and the clubs reaffiiliated with rugby union. But most of the others have legitimate status as international teams.

What on earth is going with this template? I agree that a lot of these teams are dubious but can't that just be stated on the team page?

What is going on is that an Australian soccer fan, who believes in the "world game" is attempting to attack and insult league. Just revert the vandal because the whole thing is unprecedented. The fact that he/she is a troll is clear from the fact that the only edits that are made by Tancred are at the time of an edit conflict. A soccer administrater banned the person that he/she was arguing with and so I feel it is a moral obligation that this person does not get their POV way to insult footy.

As I have outlined above, League is not played in Portugal. It says so here According to Rugby league in Greece "Rugby league has never been played in Greece" According to Rugby league in Italy League is not played in Italy either. Rugby league in Malta states "Thus far, there is no domestic rugby league played in Malta"

The "national" teams for these countries are all based in Sydney, and are made up of Australians with heritage for each country.

I would also say that in many of the countries listed league us a very minor sport and they probably have no place on this template.

Despite the absurd and specious grouping in the first place, organised rugby league is played in all those nations. Furthermore, questions of legitimacy of those nations(which are completely uncited) can be dealt with on their page.
