The latest FIFA rankings saw no gains for the Oceania nations with only Tonga and American Samoa consolidating their rankings from last month.

Australia and Fiji dropped the furthest slipping three rankings. New Zealand slid out of the top 50 after a dream ride and is now placed at 52. Good results from some upcoming exciting fixtures can help return to the top fifty. Australia continues to lead the way at 48.
