How are the teams ranked?

Teams are awarded points based on their performances in the group stage matches. A victory is worth four points, a draw is worth two and a loss is worth zero.

Teams can also be awarded a bonus point for losing a match by seven points or fewer, or for scoring four or more tries in a match. It is possible to be awarded both bonus points for the same game.

In the event of two teams finishing with the same number of points, the team that won the head-to-head match will be ranked higher. If they tied, for-and-against will be used as the tiebreaker.
