Competing teams, from England , France , Ireland , Italy , Scotland and Wales , were divided into six pools of four, in which teams played home and away matches against each other. The winners of the pools, together with the two best runners-up, qualified for the knock-out stage.

  • four points for a win

  • two points for a draw

  • a bonus point for scoring four or more tries

  • a bonus point for losing by seven or fewer points
