| Competition rules |
|---|
| Qualification:
The top eight teams qualified to the finals, with their final positions in the overall log determining their seedings in the quarter-finals. The conference winners were seeded #1 to #4 for the quarter-finals, in order of log points gained during the group stages, while the wildcards were seeded as #5 to #8 in order of log points gained during the group stages. In the quarter-finals, the conference winners hosted the first round of the finals, with the highest-seeded conference winner hosting the fourth-seeded wildcard entry, the second-seeded conference winner hosting the third-seeded wildcard entry, the third-seeded conference winner hosting the second-seeded wildcard entry and the fourth-seeded conference winner hosting the top-seed wildcard entry. The Quarter Final winners progressed to the semi-finals, where the highest seed to reach the semi-finals hosted the lowest seed and the second-seeded semi-finalist hosted the third-seeded team. The winner of the semi-finals progressed to the Final, at the venue of the highest-seeded team. |
| Points breakdown: * 4 points for a win * 2 points for a draw * 1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less * 1 bonus point for scoring at least three tries more than the opponent in a match |
| Classification: Teams standings are calculated as follows:[3] * Conference Leaders (i.e. conference leaders will always be ranked at the top) * Log points * Number of games won * Overall points difference * Number of tries scored * Overall try difference |
