As you mention AR is of large importance to the PNG an is regaining it's prior position.
If you dismiss some of the other other countries playing AR then by the same logic you must limit rl to Australia, England, PNG and NZ. To make something of the other countries for rl then you're being deluded.
Where these other countries come into importance for AR is the potential.
Without going into detailed analysis as to why, both NZ and the RSA have the immediate potential.
There are a numerous of other countries that have the potential to supply the odd AFL player.
Then there are a couple of countries than have the long term potential to supply big numbers.
The modern era of AR overseas is coming off an extremely short base and doing extremely well.
I'm encouraged by this rapid development in AR overseas just as you'd be secure in the history of rl overseas.
However I have to remind people that AR has gone from being played around Australia to being played at an elite level around Australia and that the AFL now has some effective models to employ. Now that doesn't mean there could be some developments for rl but we'll I guess we'll have to wait on the English to do something for their game.
